^ This is the stuff i've always used, bright purple in colour, smells absoloutly amazing and is the best/one of the best on the market, but due to it bumping up in price, i'm gonna have to find alternatives. I just got myself a new bottle today £16.50, used to pay a tenner for it, as fuchs is based on my doorstep, robbing gits!

But as long as you get a decent quality fully synth. Motorex, rock oil, silkolene etc, etc, you can't go wrong.

Or if you're not thrashing the tits off her 24/7 even go for a semi synth like yama lube :)

Nice one son! Love a bit of Silkolene, potters pride and all that! wink

Looking into an oil firm in shrewsberry that my dad's work mate uses for his KTM's, for racing. If i can get it in bulk on the cheap might be able to do a forum dealio smile

Be careful ,if your changing 2t oil they can react and go gloopy,if your gonna change then empty the whole system and rebleed it after to be sure,don't want it dying on you mate,did you find out what 2t is in it already??

NORFE · DTR Trusted Engine Builder

i seriously dont see why people waste money on buying daft oils

castrol scooter 2 t from halfords 7 per 1 l

vauxhall 10/40 engin oil for gearbox or any brand £10 for 5 lts thats all iv ever used

never had a problem and i dont ride bikes lightly lol

Grantypanty · DTR Senior Member

Motul is the best, then washing up liquid & some cornflakes cause my dad said that you have to treat the bike like you'd treat a woman.. I give it shelter liquids & now foods, Tuck it in at night with a towel & ride it like a beast at dawn to dusk! can't at the mo though like, i kinda burst the top end gasket from going to hard

zander · DTR Senior Member

xD

I use the 2stroke yamalube oil, It's semi synthetic so I dunno if it's the best.. it's like 14euro for 2 litres. It's a recommended oil for YZ though and the previous owner of my bike had run the dt and his yz on that oil and said it was a decent oil. Just dont get any cheap crap oil for 1euro per liter made by some odd brand you've never heard about before

as gearbox oil I have teboil 10w-40 silver (semi-synthetic). There are more suitable transmission oil as I think 10w-30 semi is recommended for DT's but thats the best oil they had for my DT at the service station in my village :P. It's nothing wrong with it actually

NEV · Guru

Choosing which oil to use is always going to be a bone of contention, its a case of if it works for you then use it, I remember a couple of years back asking a motorbike mechanic who'd been in the game for nearly 40 years what 2t oil he reckoned was best to use, he said Oregon 2t chainsaw oil, and if you think of the rpm those things do, you can see where he was coming from.
