Just wondering if anyone knows a cheap source for 2-stroke oil that meets/exceeds JASO FD rating, most oils in shops seem to all be like $20-30 per litre. Otherwise they are 5l for $20 of FB rating |

What is it for? FD is very high spec oil, if its something performance I would shell out for the good stuff. |

FC or FD are supposed to have a higher detergency and less smoke then FB
It's for a 70's aircooled suzuki 2 stroke. The cleaner she runs the better, i don't mind spending the money i just don't want to spend it on nifty packaging (i am sure the FB is 'good enough' but still i like to think old motors still benifit from new age oils) |

Used to run TTS on a RGV i had, went to motul and the HP gain was noticed. dear, but its awesome. takes a long time to get through a litre of 2 stroke oil anyway. |

Motul 510 or 800 will do you fine, and can be mixed fairly sparingly. |
