Cold weather 2 stroke oil?

Post by JFISHSOLEVIBE »

Hey guys!

Sorry if this is a silly question - but it's officially cold here on the east coast, and I'm an "as long as it isn't snowing" kind of rider. Was just wondering, with the way oil viscosity changes at low temps, should I be concerned that my 2 stroke oil is making it all the way to the motor? Has anyone used any snowmobile oils during the cold months? Is there a difference?

Thanks as always!!

I used my 550 all year round in the UK, and it gets BLOODY cold here.
Same oil is OK all year round - not as if you're going to be using the same kind of performance when it's snowing!!!
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
