Is a synthetic 2-cycle oil needed as it is more expensive than regular petroleum 2-cycle oils?
For those that demand performance and a longer lasting 2-cycle engine, they should turn to synthetic oils. ProTecta is an ashless technology that will withstand higher operating temperatures due to the synthetic base. Anyone running a dirt bike or snowmobile should use a synthetic motor oil like ProTecta. ProTecta 2-Cycle synthetic motor oil is a fully blended lubricant that meets warranty specifications world wide.
ProTecta has been fortified with extreme pressure agents to reduce wear on hard use. On the Timken Test Device ProTecta will run 450 lbs of pressure with little to no wear, whereas competitive products will only run 120 lbs of pressure with the test bearing being destroyed. For the most demanding performance, use ProTecta 2-Cycle synthetic oil in your 2-cycle application.
