Engine Oils


Mineral oils are group 1, bright stock, and group 2. Group 2 mineral oils have almost as good heat resistance as synthetic oils but with half the viscosity which means you have to add twice as much to the gas. Group 1 oils have a low "flash point" which means they evaporate off the hot upper cylinder quickly which leaves less protection.
