Personally in the case of 2-cycle oils I like the Amsoil and Redline products. But I might be swayed to use Merc's Optimax semi-syn as it is a real good product.

Thanks all for your response. I have to opt for Mercury optimax oil, cause there are no agents for Penzoil, klotz and Amsoil. but there is an agent for lucas oil do they have a good product for this motor

It's flashpoint of 143*F indicates it has a real good basestock and will burn well also.

Merc Optimax is a real good choice even if other choices existed.
