Hello Board, long time no see!
My question is simple and should be a piece of cake for the more knowledgeable folk here.
I have a 2 stroke dirtbike (Honda CR250) used for riding up in the mountains in Greece. I am currently running Motorex Cross Power 2T in it, and it does a good job. When I tore the engine down for a top end refresh the power valve was clean. Now, this Motorex oil has a classification JASO FD and it costs a cool €17/liter.
I found locally another oil, Gulf Pride 2T Plus if that is of any use, that is semi-synthetic and it has the same classification. Moreover, it is on the official JASO list of certified oils - the Motorex is not. Gulf price: €5.50/liter
My question is since both oils carry the same classification, can we expect that they both do the same job in terms of lubrication, cleanliness and all those nice properties? Will all FD rated oils do pretty much the same job?
Granted, compared to the other costs it will not break the bank, but I don't like to pay for the pretty picture of the dirtbike on the bottle!
Thanks!
Nikos
