    Yeah, I actually got some of the fuel additive and used it as 2 stroke oil in my dirtbike (on recomendation from the sales rep)... And I was pretty impressed. i've been meaning to order some more for a while now (only had 900ml - which was good for about 300km in the dirty [obviously keeping in mind a 2 stroke burns up way more oil than a 4 stroke ever would]).

    I had the same results - the bike did start easier and was noticeably smoother than when it runs on the standard cheap castrol I usually use... And it's cheaper than the castrol too.

    Although I have to say it didn't perform any better (or worse, mind you) than the Mobil Racing 2 stroke oil I used for a while - but that stuff was $24 a litre, and i just couldn't justify using that for every day commuting.

    Hisdirt- I'm sorry you didnt find the oil any better, thank you for trying it though. I really did want to know if it was just the cars & bikes I know that found improvements.

    casso- were you the one who overoiled by using the fuel additive & stroke oil? Steve told me about that. To be honest I didnt know they reccommended the fuel additive as a 2 stroke oil...at least when I found out I realised why my whipper snipper was a bitch to start- I did the same thing as you

    Yup, that was me <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

    Will be emailing Steve this week to order one of the 4L containers. As far as 2 stroke oil goes, it feels as good as the racing oil, while costing marginally less than the standard stuff, so it just makes sense to use it.

    I think time will tell with the 4 strokes in regards to impact on machine wear - although I would be watching your spark plugs for accumulated gunk. Some fuel additives tend to leave deposits that don't burn off so easily, and it pays to be aware of that. I have no idea if this fuel additive does or doesn't - and my instinct says it probably doesn't. But keep an eye on it anyway.

    Yeah next service I'll get my mechanic to check the spark plugs out, see if anything looks out of the ordinary.

    And brad, I understood the benifits of the oil to be in regards to engine wear and tear - more passive protection than performance boosting so I wasnt really expecting much of a boost in performance... the fuel additve achieves that fine.
