I use the Walmart stuff...buy it by the gallon. It's TCW3 rated and seems to do fine in my 91 N/A.

If you didn't find it in the search, then you didn't search well enough. Normal is 1 ounce per 1 gallon, if you have the MOP still you use less, if you want added protection or overkill you use more.

i use redline synthetic at a 100:1 premix if i plan on running near or possibly above redline, aside from that i just use standard 2 stroke oil that you can find anywhere that is TCW certified.

oh, and i wouldn't use castor oil unless you rebuild often, it has high ash content and will carbon up seals, it is a good short term lubricant but not good for the long term.

i always did love the smell of castor oil and race gas though.
