Any recommendations for the best oil for a 2l air cooled engine.

anybody use engine additives -slick 50 or the like, do they work or a waste of money.

Thanks for the help

Andy

This has been discussed so many times now. Use the search feature - and the WIKI which has a LOT on oil.

Funny thing was i searched for the term "oil", "engine oil" and several more combinations but kept geting "no suitable matches were found". it must not like the term "oil"

i thought it was very curious that there were no postings on oil types so asked the question

Sorry

No need to apologise

You may have been using the "normal" search function on "normal" pages. I find that one can be a bit quirky. If you go to the knowledge base "wiki" and put oil in there you get this = Click here

I know very little about air cooled motors, so won't add anything

What about slik 50 and that type of engine treatment, any use or is a 3000 mile oil change the best polic

Cheers

regular oil and filter changes, every 3-5000 miles, will keep your engine in tip top condition
no need for that snake oil

I do mine every 6 months

Found the answer to my own question
