I've trusted Motul 300V with my old SP. Costs around $28-$30 for a bottle of engine oil.

Motul 300V

use gear oil is the best... motul transoil or belray gear saver... cheaper n gd enuf...

[Blahhh]

Motul 300V for SP? Big waste of money. Don't be someone who only choose stuff based on "name" and "price". Do a little research. Cheap EO or even gearoil is enough for a 2stroke bike, especially a small cc one. 2T is more important.

Agree with bro. Save money on 4t and spend more on 2t. Castrol Power1 is enough if you don't tour ard msia like maintaining at high spd for 1hr. Don't just look at the brand and price. It doesn't mean that high price equal to good quality. The more branded the brand, the higher chance of being overpriced.

 

2cents.

sry, castrol power1 is the semi-synthetic 2t right?

sori, wads the diff between engine oil and gear oil?

[SpiritualRain13]

Mostly for 2Strokes, it is preferbably 2 use Gear Oil instead; more suitable. EO intended for 4Strokes, but no harm in using it for 2Strokes either. Only wear & tear slighlty faster...

yes use motul transoil instead.. nv changed 4T on my M before, all the way use gearoil. Price should be ard $14 liddat. Better and cheaper den motul 300v @ $28.. waste of $$.

Gear oil contains extreme pressure additives, for use in transmissions, etc. 4T doesn't.

 

Gear oil comes in very high weightage such as "75W90" but actual viscosity is similar to EO. This is due to different oil testing/certification/etc.
