2 stroke oil
would anybody out there have a problem using this?
Rock Oil MP3 Sports TCW3 two stroke oil.
An all in one outboard two stroke oil.
The most advance additives ensure easy starting and clean running even under continuous use.
Can be used as pre mix or with oil injection systems.
Meets and exceeds API-TD specification.
Now as i see it, many dealers are selling this for £22 plus and i have seen today £28 per Gallon, 
Get it at some Agricultural and motorcycle shops for £15 !!!!!

Yeh, and no doubt he has a friend that uses it in his Aston, Ferrari or Lamborghini. Probably in the Cessna as well!

Too right. It looks and smells identical to the Mercury premium TCW3 stuff that was in my boat when I had it. A lot of racers use this stuff as well - I bought it in 25L drums so had it dirt cheap.
And I will use it when I get a new Etec or Optimax 300!!!

Who are the racers that use it Codders? Class III - Offshore - RIBs? Most of offshore use Optimax based XS200's, so I would be interested in knowing what sort of race motors run comfortably on this oil, especially as I only use what I consider to be a top grade synthetic in my "race" 2.5 Offshore motor!

<hijack><irrelevant comments>No idea about racers but I do find though that a tablespoon of TCW3 in my bike tank makes a noticeable difference to it.
