There's only 2 possible problem for the fuel guage.

 

The meter on the instrument panel or the fuel float assembly.

2t ah? ....

 

i used to swear by R2 when i was riding my ITALJET DRAGSTER. but after i tried TOTAL RACING , i have been using it ever since. it's 4 time cheaper and i really can't notice any diff, except when i check piston and find it slidly darker when compared with R2 loh. so my advice is use what u can afford . cheaper 2T still can be used , u worried then increase the ratio loh.:smile:

:goodluck:

well..be glad man...mine's starting this thursday and ends on 28th!!!! :sian:

 

so grade of 2T ain't an issue eh? cos i went petrol kiosk. saw fully synthetic ones at 16+! was wondering wat's if i'm using the correct ones cos 2T unlike 4T, can't change it every 1000km/2000km/5000km.

Actually, the thing you should take note of is not so much on the brand, rather it's

the rating that counts.

 

Of course u would still want to choose a reputable brand of 2T.

 

During my typhoon days, pretty short only actually.

 

These are the facts I found.

 

The most common rating that is on 2T is either by API or JASO.

 

API ratings are API TA, TB and TC.

 

Jaso rating are JASO FA, FB and FC.

 

The "A" series being the lowest and usually you don't find them around anymore.

The lowest on the shelves are API TB and JASO FB rating.

 

And the both rating are actually very close. But the Jaso is more strict.

 

What may pass API TC rating may only pass JASO FB rating only.

 

So if you go by Jaso rating, you won't be wrong.

 

Mineral 2T oil and some of the semi syn 2T oil are in the FB rating.

 

Some Semi Syn and all fully syn are in the FC rating.

 

So far, I only come accros the castrol active semi syn is in the FC rating.

Which shares the same rating as castrol R2.

No Active is not better than R2 as R2 still have some additive that is not found in active.

 

The interesting facts that I found out from the JASO website is

FB and FC is not too far off. They both have the same level of lubrication and protection values. The only diff is that FC rating have more cleaning rating value. and lower carbon formation value than FB.

 

Personal recommendation, Use total racing semi-syn $3.90 that is found at carefour. cheap and good.

 

If you want more protection use, castrol active. $6.50 found at all BP(?) petrol kiosk?

 

The above mentioned 2T is good enough for skippers.

 

Just sharing
