I have, but it is a Boat oil, pick up the amsoil series 2000 2 stroke raceing oil, much better for quads and bikes. P.S. I would never mix any leaner than 50:1 Personly I use the Amsoil 2 stroke raceing oil at 32:1 with awesome results

...100 to 1? Works great if you own a bank and can afford new pistons every 10 minutes!!!! Any leaner than 50:1 and you are decreasing your motor life geometrically. I race Bel-Ray MC-1 at 40:1 and can run with any other motor prepped like mine and my top ends last generally 2yrs. (I race GNC nationals) and they look good when I take them apart. They say and it's true to a point, that a leaner mixture will give you more power as oil doesn't burn, but I have found that inproving your skill as a rider has far greater benefits as far as performance goes than risking your top end at the expense of an almost immesureable increase in power through leaner mixtures. But hey, that's just my opinion........Happy roosting!

quadracerin, i agree 100%. I used to run MC-1+ and H1R and got about 2 years out of my CR250R's top end, then I tryed the amsoil, I never put another ring in it.. sold it after 3 years and it still had great compresson. I took it apart to put a rad vavle in it and no varnish at all either

I use it in my Polaris. I am getting ready to remove the oil injector, and run pre-mix. I email Amsoil, telling them that I thought 100:1 seemed a bit to lean. They emailed me back and said, "Amsoil 100 : 1 should be ran at that ratio, regardless of manufacture recommendation".

I also emailed Polaris, 1and they said that regardless of the oil type, to run 40 to 1.

100 to 1 is not a boat motor oil. It is an oil for all types of 2 stroke engines.

I no longer see the 100:1 in there line up, they just have the injector oil and the raceing oil. check it out here

The Amsoil 100:1 is good oil, but the Series 2000 2-cycle oil affords a little more protection, plus it can be run injector or at 50:1. I switched this year and won't go back to anything else. It burns clean as a whistle and the engine shows virtually no wear after 60+ gallons of gas run through it. And yes, the 100:1 is still available.

The reason I posted the add was to see who all was running it.I have been running it for 11 years now my TRX 250R has been apart only two times. The bore is .020 over I use on average one plug a summer. When I tell someone that it is 100 to 1 they tell me the bike will die. I just thought more people should know about a very good product.
PS I do not sell it, yet

Luckywilson,
What ratio do you run the Amsoil at?

My dad was a dealer since 1975 but when the local parts stores started selling it he quit in 1995. My packet of dealer info said the 100:1 was enginerd to be a BIA oil (TCWIII) but can be ran in anything, notice the Keep our lakes clean on the bottom of the label. That is why they say 100:1 to keep slime out of lakes. We have 450,000 miles on a 1982 dodge van, same 360 as stock never touched with Amsoil 10W30
