Castrol racing two stroke oil

Post by Brimfull »

Hi,

I have been premixing castrol racing 2t for the last few months, however my local Halfords have not had any in for a few weeks, they do however have castrol 2t in stock which is approx £3 cheaper.

What is the main difference between the two and is the non racing 2t just as good to use for premixing.

Failing the standard castrol 2t they have mobil one racing 2t in stock.

Thanks

The normal Power 1 is fine for premixing..I think the only difference is that the 'racing' is fully synthetic.

I use that as well, it's got a higher flashpoint than any other 2T I've used and in my mind that makes it better.
