2 stroke oil mix
By: Chainsawrepair Date: January 27, 2024, 9:35 am

Just something I been curious about. Lets say they are all FD
oils to cut the chase. Dino oil the cheapest, Semi dino blend
synthetic is blended with dino to make it more affordable per
oil companies. Synthetic should be the most expense.
So why is it some semi blends cost so much more then 100%
synthetic oils?
Info straight from oil company.
Mineral-based 2 Stroke Oil​
Mineral-based 2 stroke oil, also known as conventional or
regular oil, is derived from petroleum. It is a cost-effective
option and suitable for older or low-performance two-stroke
engines. While mineral-based oil provides adequate lubrication,
it may have limited resistance to high temperatures
Semi-synthetic 2 Stroke Oil​
Semi-synthetic 2 stroke oil combines the benefits of
mineral-based and synthetic oils. It is a blend of
petroleum-based and synthetic components, striking a balance
between cost-effectiveness and improved performance.
Semi-synthetic oil offers better lubrication and protection
compared to mineral-based oil while being more affordable than
full synthetic oil.
Synthetic 2 Stroke Oil​
Synthetic 2 stroke oil is engineered using synthesized
chemicals, offering superior performance and protection. It is
designed to withstand higher temperatures, providing enhanced
lubrication and reducing engine wear. Synthetic oil also offers
better resistance to oxidation and degradation, making it
suitable for high-performance engines or engines operating in
extreme conditions.

In FD rated oils I can buy 100% synthetic oils cheaper then the
over priced semi dino synthetic blended oil.
Thats what I am getting at. Both FD but the semi blend is way
higher. Dont make sense when they say it should be other way
around.
Sounds like the semi blend is getting rich on profits of its
marketing. ;)
