what kind of oil is the best for a yz 250?

Question

What kind of oil is the best to add to the gas of a two-stroke dirtbike

Answer 1

Since your piston, sleeve, big end bearings and rod bearing depend entirely and solely on the two stroke oil for lubrication the first posters response makes absolutely no sense at all.

If the price of oil is a concern to any rider, then quite simply, they can't afford to be riding in the first place. Buy the good stuff. Period. You'll save money over the long haul with extended engine life and superior performance.

I prefer pure synthetics and have used them for years. My engines seem to run cooler, they definitely shift better, and on tear down are extremely clean and show only normal and nominal wear. For the last several years have used Motul's 800T two stroke oil mixed at 50:1 and couldn't be happier with the results. It's about $15 a liter but well worth it.

Answer 2

If you follow the above advice ,your heading for engine trouble--big time!Any two stroke oil will certainly NOT do.Number one rule---always use the best correct oil that you can afford. Contact Yamaha or your nearest Yamaha dealer and ask what oil they recommend and what ratio to use.Personally,I would contact a reputable motorcycle oil specialist such as Fuchs Silkolene or Rockoil lubricants, both in the UK and approachable via e-mail contact,or an American equivalent if you're in the U.S.A. Remember though to ask in any enquiries if they recommend petroil ratio changes when using their products.Another option is to go on dirt bike or motocross internet forums and post your question there.

Answer 3

as long as it's 2-stroke, any oil will do. this type of oil will be burned with the gas. waste of money to buy the most expensive brand. just be sure to mix it to engine spec's.

Answer 4

Answer 5
