What they are not showing is an add component that is really the basis of their performance, but that which I am not at liberty to divulge.
It's interesting that Ca is even that high.
cal may also help with storage during periods of non use
I know the Ca is an additive. I guess those low levels remain relatively ashless.
Mola - you just have to tease us don't you.
Thanks for the UOA, where do you guys get this stuff, no auto parts stores or any places that sell 2 cycle oil seem to have this. I'd like to use it in my equipment that is around here as most people on here like it better than most other 2 cycle oils.
I have found the the MX2T outperforms most all of the $8.00 pint oils, and at only ~$3.75.
Very, very clean, as the power valves are far less gummed up than with any other 2T oil I've seen at breakdown.
Only two problems I've ever had, or heard others having with this oil is the color, which Mobil fixed with some dye..and the fluid tends to not protect the exposed crank (exposed inside the motor) seems to be seeing some surface oxidation in only short storage times. I've also heard other anecdotal claims to this problem.
I wonder if the higher level of calcium has always been in the MX2T, or perhaps that is an addition after the new packaging. Maybe there was a reformulation as well. If they did indeed up the calcium level in an attempt to lesson surface oxidation, then maybe I was correct in my analysis.
Are we certain that MX2T and the repackaged 2T are indeed the same fluids?
