Alright, I made the 2-cycle Oils list into an image file and you can copy it from there if you want the latest version. You can find the list by clicking the link.

Hope this helps.

if i just pour the oil in my tank will it mix up ok? or do l need to mix it up first? thanks

Pour it in at the gas station right before you fill your tank. Then the filling of the fuel will mix it up.

I am using Valvoline 2 stroke. It is any good to use? Usually Valvoline makes good oil but I might as well ask since I didn't see it on your list.

The Valvoline 2-cycle is a bit more solvent-based mix than the ones on the list. It should be ok to use if that's all you can get, but if you can get any of the ones on the list, they have the most actual lubricating oil-per-volume. In a quart, you'll get around 80% lubricating oil. With the Valvoline, you're looking at around 28-38% lubricating oil, around the same percentage of light solvent, and the rest is mixing agents and additives. If it's possible, I'd suggest you get something more along the lines of those on the list or at least the Outboard/Marine versions of any of those. Even those, as long as they are TCW-3 rated, will be better for lubrication (because of the oil content) than the Valvoline branded oils. Hope this helps.

As a general rule add 1 ounce 2 cycle oil per 1 gallon of fuel added to tank.

read the thread "first time with 2-stroke....." it will answer ALL of your questions.

in short the ULSD (ultra low sulfer diesel) dosnt have as much lube in it as the old LSD so the 2 cycle oil helps put some back.
