| Subject: | 582 oil question |
I noticed recently that Castrol two stroke has been replaced with
Castrol Snowmobile two stroke oil. Both have the required ratings but
the new oil seems thinner.
What are other two stroke owners using now the preferred Pennsoil no
longer appears to be available?

I have been running the CITGO sea n ski for several years. I use it in the airplane,
snow machine and boat. On my snowmachines we have what are called power
valves, and it is basically a variable port on the exhaust. When running the
manufactures oil (Arctic Power Valve oil) you have to pull the valves and clean
them about every 25 hrs or so or you will start breaking the cable that actuates
them. Since I have switched to the CITGO I have NEVER had to clean the
power valves (I pull them and check them once or twice a season and put them
right back in). I have used it in the 582 in the plane since the first start
up, and have not had to de-carbon yet (160+hrs). By pulling the exhaust and intake
I can see the ring grooves are clean and no build up on the head of the
pistons. The kicker is the APV oil is $40 a gallon, and the CITGO is $11 or $12
a gallon.
We are running this oil in several planes here the last few years with no issues!
