Mineral or semi synthetic oil
I am sure this has been asked before but I can’t find it. Since my total engine re build, I have been using Silkoline T2. I know our old bikes weren’t designed for the newer oils but I have heard that the old mineral oils give the engine a little more power. My engine has now done 2500 miles and runs like new. What do you guys think, mineral or semi synthetic?

Re: Mineral or semi synthetic oil
Personal preference and no discernible difference in performance.....
I use Honda 2 stroke transmission oil and others have their own personal choices.

Re: Mineral or semi synthetic oil
I've got a kettle running on mineral and a T500 running synthetic and there is no difference to the smoke or anything else
