Compression leak. Overheat seizure. Caused by lean fueling, and/or lean premix ratio.

Infamous copy and paste. Spreading gullible misinformation is counterproductive. Lambretta workshop author is full of it. "Plug chop"

I agree. Use the most exorbitant priced oil available, add 1 cap full to a 5L Jerrycan. Adjust the carb to its leanest setting = 1 million horsepower. Add a drop of octane booster = 2 million horsepower. Iridium spark plug = 3 million horsepower. Red elastic power band = 4 million horsepower. Muffler bearings = 5 million horsepower.

Well' i disagree on the synthetic superiority claim. If bleeding air form a hydraulic brake system and draining mineral oil faster than topping up the master cylinder, more air will be drawn into the system. If doing the same thing with a synthetic snake oil.. the result will be exactly the same. If using a higher octane fuel and leaning out the fuel/air mixture, the piston will likely expand and weld itself to the cylinder bore during a high speed run. High rpm = high temperatures, which requires high oil presence. All oil ratios smoke at idle speed. During high speed runs, smoke clouds are less intensive. Doesn't matter if its mineral, synthetic or castor bean.. higher combustion temperatures burn oil quicker. Those with very high strung motors who pay extra money for the benefit of castor bean oil, and then reduce the oil ratio are throwing money down the drain. Some folks ride a motorbike, snowmobile or dinghy tender with an oil injection system.. and somehow expect premixed fuel to burn just as clean. If you put a higher rpm exhaust and or larger capacity cylinder kit on any 2 cycle engine, the oil mix ratio must be higher than the OEM manual specifies. A paramount fact only novices and internet trolls would disagree with.

My point being.. if somebody on the internet claims "less oil = more POWER", most kids will use little to no oil and suffer the expensive, dream crushing consequences.

FG Marder. 4% (25:1). Oil brand is irrelevant, only the oil specifications matter that 20L drum of mineral only costs £45.95

There is no best oil... no!... wait!.. there is... On a more serious note' it's all about oil quantity, not quality. Huzzah!

Does the op submitting fake information that leads gullible youths into damaging their own engines not matter? does the op sound trustworthy? That article wrote 4 decades ago is derived from experience and facts. Is science and technology in a 1920's beam torque wrench irrelevant today? No, the cheap old tech outdoes the modern clicker gimmick for accuracy, simplicity and reliability. ^ That 20L drum's contents was beneath the earth's surface for many many years.. is it irrelevant for use today? should i throw it away? lol.

Prove me wrong?

All 2 cycle engines can run the same oil w/o fail. Oil is oil, and snake oil is snake oil. for example.. Picture of a snake on the bottle

Thought not

Can you provide sufficient evidence to back that "not true" claim? I use cheap conventional mineral, never had an oil related engine failure. API TC JASO FB is the modern 2 cycle oil specification standard, can you provide sufficient evidence that proves conventional minerals don't meet those standards?

Solvol Autosol springs to mind..

Incorrect guidance. The "less oil = more performance" claim has no sufficient evidence to back it up. http://www.bridgestonemotorcycle.com/documents/oilpremix6.pdf
