“Tell me, Pablo how a synthetic (whatever that is) will preclude these geographically induced ring problems that are apparently inevitable? Remember, we are talking about a 625 mi OCI here.”
Probably with a short OCI it’s of no consequence, but a well formulated group IV and V oils tend to have less gummy ring deposits than group I and group II oils, especially in single cylinder hot running engines. These engines do respond well to fuel additives, IMHO. And probably would do well with AutoRx in the oil to clean an existing problem, which it sounds like rakuentw does not have.
I haven’t been to Taiwan since January 2005. But 2000-2005 I travelled extensively from Taipei to Taoyuan to Tainan to Kaohsiung with also many trips to a factory in Pingtung. I honestly didn’t think about which area had more smoky scooters! But very glad there is enforcement!
The thing I miss most about Taiwan are the night markets (great food and shopping) and of course betel nut girls!!!
