The best price I've been able to get was $40/case of 24 pints + $10 shipping at oil-store.com. I was also told by a Pennzoil distributor that the 16oz. has been discontinued and that sooner or later I'll have to use 8oz. bottles, with the attendant higher price and waste. Therefore, would anyone care to recommend a non-Pennzoil oil for the 582? Thank you, Guy Buchanan San Diego, CA K-IV 1200 / 582-C / Warp / 100% done, thanks mostly to Bob Ducar. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:46:21 PM PST US Subject: RotaxEngines-List: Re: 2-stroke Oil From: "Roger Lee" Hi Guy, You are likely to get several suggestions and oil is like Chevy's and Ford's. You tend to like one, but not the other. I reality they both work. For 18 years I used YamaLube R and Cheveron two stroke oils and never ever had an issue with my engines. I really liked the Yamalube R. When I tore the engine down the crank shaft was always lubbed and never on the dry side. I did find a few oils that left parts on the dry side when I tore down other engines. Yamalube R is part synthetic. It doesn't cause any carbon build up, doesn't lead to plug fowling, burns clean. I am sure some of the people here on the forum use other oils and have some good suggestions. I don't know the price. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
