Is this the correct stuff????

I was going to give a couple tanks of TCW3 Supertech a try. Just wanted to make sure this was the correct stuff everyone was using! I bought 4 little 16 oz bottles on sale for a buck each. Figured I would try it forst before going for the gallon...

Thanks for the advice! I will stick to the 1oz per gallon as sometimes I do not always run until the tank is low... That will help me when i amjust topping off. I plan to run the power service along with it as well.

What exactly is this going to do for the engine? And where did you pick the 2 cycle up at?

walmart supertech is the stuff quiets down your motor like you wont believe. I run a quart per fill up even if I only add 25 gallons. to much oil wont hurt a thing. wish they sold it in quarts though. you only have your choice of half quarts and gallons.

There is lots of reading on the subject , LOTS LOTS LOTS LOTS..... Di I say lots! LOLOLOL I was fairly convinced I was going to try it, now I am not so sure!!! Lotsof mixed feelings. best I can come up with is 80% love it, 20% don't like it.... You can get the 2 cycle oil from Walmart, just over a dollar a quart!

SuperSonic: It is $1.09 for half a quart. quart= 32 oz.

I picked up 2 half quarts and a gallon. I just fill up the half quarts from the gallon and keep em in the truck.

I switched to Wally 2 stroke stuff a while back. I document everything and don't see any mpg change =/-. It's noticeably quieter. I tried it with and without just to make sure. It only take a couple minutes of driving to notice it. Gotta be better.

Smoke?? well that's a relative measurement. An eclipse is an eclipse, it still black and heavy. haha

an ounce per gal. not fussy. As one guy said "...3 or 4 'glucks' per tank."

You left out the people who have tried it and there injectors don't like 2 cycle oil mixed in the fuel! I just happen to have one of those engines that has injectors that does not like Wally World 2 cycle oil, even when mixed at 1/2 oz per gallon of diesel!

That was my point, now I am even scared to try the 2 stroke oil!! Maybe I should just dump everything but the Power service and be done with it!!
