Hi,

Which is the best 2T oil available at the moment and where can I get it? Castrol Jettx is very difficult to find these days. Hoping for some inputs on price, quality and locations. Thanks.

I use Motul 800 2T (Racing line) and it is available in Bangalore with the Motul dealer either in-stock or by special order. Costs around 650 rupees per liter. I've stocked up with 3 full crates (36 bottles) just in case they get too hard to find.

Did you get a discount for buying that many? What bike are you riding?

I have seen the Yamalube at the factory shop in Mumbai. Has anyone tried that?

Jet X Difficult to find?

Thats the easiest to find oil here! I don't think its a very good oil (considering its premium price)... also it dosen't seem to burn too clean - gives out fair amount of visible smoke.

The best oil should be Motul's fully synth 2T. But its damn costly. Other good option should be Shell 2T - have heard good things about it. Also saw Gulf 2T very recently... might be good, considering their new 4 stroke oil is really good. Not tried it myself though.

What i do basically is mixing 600ml of motul 800 & 400ml of jetex or elf or shell works the best for me and lighter on pocket too, for highway runs and high speed blasts i would recommend this mixture.

For city shell advance (green can not the white) is pretty good and works out thad cheaper too. even elf is ok.

**Raccoon** · 04-07-2009, 01:38 PM

^^^I would never mix oils like that!

Better let one thing do its job!

Shell makes more than one type of 2T oil?? I'v only seen the white bottle... and thats the only 1 mentioned on their website also.

Never seen Elf 2t anywhere... not even heard. Is it easily available in your city?

**HydBiker** · 04-07-2009, 01:58 PM

Yamalube 2T engine oil is made by Shell. The gear box oil is by Exxon Mobil.

Got Gulf 2T (semi synth) oil pouches for my father's Chetak... he it is better than Castrol he was using

And each pouch was Rs 6 as against 8 or 9 for Castrol.

Some RX100 users have given good feedback on Yamalube and Petronas. Again, as usual, expect the Motul's to be very good

**atul_astro** · 04-07-2009, 02:05 PM

The best oil to use the Motul 800 2T [single ester/double ester]

Yamalube is nothing but Motul Motoman semi synthetic oil

For stock bikes, synthetic oil cant do much except reduce carbon builup..but then again that depends on ur fuel type and state of tune...I personally use MAK 2t on my stock RX [done 26,000 kms in the last year] without any excess wear.

For the drag bike I use only 800 2T..I cant trust any other oil for the kinda revs she's pulling

I personally feel you need synthetic oil only if you're on a high revving chambered setup.. By high reviing I mean 8500 rpm..I knew a guy who'd put 800 2T on his stock 4 speed..It was really stupid

How much does Jettx cost in Pune? All the dealers here tell me that its been discontinued and whatever is avalable is '07 manufactured.

Yamalube 2T is made by Exxon Mobil as well. Its what I'm using right now. If look carefully at the pictures you will see it.

Indeed... so, did I mix up things (between the gear box oil & engine oil) or does Yamaha procure from more than one vendor???

I wouldn't say its exactly stupid. The Easter thingy will burn very clean compared to minerals. And this will prevent carbon build up. Carbon build up means decarb by savage service centre people by opening up the cylinder and all (unless you gonna do it yourself). If you want to avoid opening it up, it makes a HUGE sense. Only problem is its just too expensive.

As far as I remember it was about Rs. 115. Can confirm when I'm home. Mfd date was around mid 2008... so slightly older stock. The dealer said the latest stock is priced a bit higher. Its definitely not discontinued. But its really nothing to rave about. You'd prolly be better off using Shell/Gulf/etc... and they are cheaper!

**Bladerunner** · 04-07-2009, 02:31 PM

Let me list some of the better oils discussed here and their prices per liter. I'll add more as I find the prices.

1. Motul 800 - Rs.780
2. Petronas Sprinta 5000 - Rs.325
3. Petronas Sprinta 4000 - Rs.260
4. Yamalube - Rs.203
5. Castrol Jettx - Rs.200
6. Motul Motomix - Rs.195
