hi what oil is shell 2t.for premix or gearbox.any one know .thanks don
-
2T means for two stroke, the label needs to be read to find out if it's for a gearbox or for premix.
-
it would be for your fuel ,shell do advance sx 2t,advance ultra 2,or the older ones where SX2,VSX2
there gearbox oil is advance gear EP 80W :)

I know I'm old and thick but where did the 2T 4T come from I know what it means but you got 2 stroke/2cycle 4 stroke/4 cycle where does the T come from.

No definative answer but in French T refers to 2-temps = 2 strokes = 2T and 4-temps = 4 strokes = 4T , Spanish = Tiempo, German = Takt used to describe a clock cycle and with physics T is the symbol used for period or cycle. It seems English is the odd one with the word stroke where as 2T and 4T make it almost globally identifiable. Your guess is as good as mine :-\

There ya go....I too wondered what the origin of 2t/4t was but too shy to ask. Thanks doctor. ;)

And we now have Castor again in 1l bottles from Penrite. It replaces syncastor and is as good as the old stuff.
Budget Auto Parts. 07-3279 7776
about $30.00

Castrol castor we get here in a 5L retail container for $70................... sure any scotcher type distributer would be the same.
-
For some reason we can't get that Freaky-the supplier up here doesn't hold it-apparently??

Fuchs Silkolene used to make Castorene R30. Not sure if they still make the R30 but I know they definitely make Castor based R40 which suits 2 stroke or 4 stroke and is compatible with petrol or methanol.
