I have just bought some of the above for my DT125 which has an autolube system. I think this oil is primarily used be used as a premix. If I were to use it would it cause any issues. Thanks in advance.

Pre-mix is usually thicker, so it could flow slower through the pump, really you should use injector oil for auto lube system.

If you go on putoline website there is a tool where you enter details of your bike and it will tell you the recommended oil.

Thanks for the replies. I think the safest option is to drain the tank and put in the specialist autolube oil. I have looked on the Putoline website and they seem to suggest that MX5 can be used as an alternative but £10 for the correct stuff is cheaper than a rebuild so I won't risk it. Thanks again for the replies.

I have tried Putoline oils in my 2 strokes and didn't like them. They didn't burn clean loads of exhaust spooge and fouled plugs. Would recommend Motul 710.

Strayin slightly but is it just me or has anyone else noticed an increase in the price of oil lately? Seems to have shot up since i last changed my oil.

iv been using mx5 in my ktm 300 and had no problems with it!

I'm sure I used to use Putoline MX5 in my 2 strokes with no issues.

One was a TS125R that started off auto lube but I converted to pre mix. The other was a KDX200 that was always pre mix.

However, I was advised by my local bike shop to fit a bigger main jet when I converted the TS which I did. So NKL990 might very well be correct about the oil being thicker etc but on the other hand it was still the same oil?

Mind you, I never once had an issue with plugs fouling on either bike (or indeed any other 2 stroke I've owned) so perhaps Stevewest was getting the ratio wrong?

Or perhaps not, I really don't know but like Burt I never had a problem with Putoline 2 stroke oil.

Cheers

never had any problems with putoline oils used mx5 in a variety of moto x bikes when i was racing , ran the crm 250 on putoline tt scooter while i had the oil pump set up then went onto mx5 premix when i did away with the auto lube, and im now using putoline mx9 pre mix in the gas gas with great results , never had any problems and only one siezure due to rushing about and filling up with neat petrol and the rm 125 still managed 4 laps before giving up and when i worked it out the poor bike was running at about 150 : 1 instead of 40 ; 1

No I wasn't running the wrong ratio , but hey if MX5 works for you then use it. It's just that I have tried a few oils and prefer something else.
