Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Anybody know anything about Opti-2 oil??

Group,

 

                At the risk of starting up the old oil debate….  I was at my local lawnmower parts establishment yesterday.  It is owned by a pilot friend of mine who is quite knowledgeable about engines of all types.  We got on the subject of two-cycle oil and he introduced me to an oil called Opti-2.  It is supposedly a new type of formulation, requiring only 1.2 ounces per gallon for any two-stroke engine, regardless of make or mix ratio.  It has an ISO rating of EG-D++ which is the highest rating available.  You can check it out at  www.opti2-4.com . He swears by it, and uses it in his chain saws, blowers, and weedeaters.  It is also recommended for use in snowmobiles, outboards, and personal watercraft.

                I was just wondering if anyone here had heard of it, and whether anyone here was using it.  I realize that our aircraft engines are a bit of a different breed, but I am curious just the same.  I currently use Castrol RS TTS, per my engine mfgr's recommendation, but it's getting hard to find.  At 1.2 oz. per gallon, I could reduce my oil costs considerably.  I know there are many options available, but was interested in feedback regarding the Opti-2.

                I would appreciate comments, positive or negative, especially those of the constructive variety.
