Tyrhone Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hello all, So I have scoured Playa del Carmen in Mexico, and the only fully synthetic 2 stroke oil I can find ANYWHERE, is Motul 710 2T (I did find semi synthetic yamalube 2-s). I was hoping you guys might know how well this would work with my Blackhawk BH125. It costs about $25 per liter. Alternatively I could order 'Maxima (22964) Formula K2 2-Stroke' from amazon.com which would work out to about $33 a liter. I believe this is what Blackhawk use in their motors. So do you think the extra money and slightly nervous anticipation of it going missing in the post is worth the potential benefit of a better oil (Maxima, and is it a better oil)? I am open to suggestions of other oils and ways to get them to Mexico, but in particular is Motul 710 going to be good to my engine?

PatPux Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I use Motul 710 in my XT 172 motor in a Parajet Macro V2. It is a top end fully Synthetic and should be fine at around 2%. I am using it because that was the previous owner used. So it has 10hrs on it and runs well and cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Motul is a top end brand in the UK. I am sure it will be 100% ok to use. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 My oil religion is Motul, it's excellent oil (although I use 800 not 710). Their quality is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrhone Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 That is an absolute relief! Thanks guys, I wasn't sure if it was some dodgy Mexican brand made down the local. With so many advocates I am sure it will be good, and I can actually get it which is helpful! Thanks again for all your confirmations. Motul 710 (can't find the 800 here) it is.
