Teflon 2 stroke oil

[Simon B]

Does this exist? We use telon additives in a lot of lubes at work, it isnt cheap, have any of the oil manufacturers tried this or is fundamentally a bad idea as you'll burn it off any way.

Teflon doesn't burn (at least not easily), which is why NASA uses it as insulation on wiring.

Teflon in 2 stroke oil will eventually leave a bunch of particulate teflon wherever the oil burns off - probably not a good thing.

Slick 50 used to do a additive for 2 strokes that you mix with the oil, that had Teflon in it. Not sure if they still make it though.

There additive was added by pouring into the carbs and created a huge white cloud which only slowly disappeared. Used it once and it did raise the engine revs for a few hours but then the effects disappeared as did the claims of benefits on the packaging

I used to work with a bloke we called Teflon.

Because try as he did, the crap just wouldn't stick.

His name wasn't Tony was it?

I used Slick50 once on a 4 stroke engine - never again!!! When I stripped it down after about 40,000 miles I have never seen so much black sludge and crap . Washed it all out and ran it for another 60,000 miles on nice clean oil changed every 10,000 miles - engine was as clean as a whistle.

I've got some of that somewhere. It's out of production now. I wonder why
