Description

77 Lubricants Motorcycle Oil SYN 2T is a fully synthetic oil for two-stroke petrol engines in motorcycles, scooters, snowmobiles and other machines. The formulation is designed for low exhaust smoke.

The oil meets API TC, JASO FD, ISO-L-EGD and ISO 6743-15. It meets the requirements of Rotax 253 without formal approval; the data sheet lists no other approvals.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 8.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 158, pour point -54 °C, flash point above 90 °C, sulphated ash 0.15 %.

Application

Two-stroke petrol engines in motorcycles, scooters, snowmobiles and other machines.

Worth knowing

Under a single heading, “exceeds the following performance criteria”, the data sheet lumps together all the codes of this oil, from API TC and JASO FD to Rotax 253. The shared wording does not make them equal. The JASO class is claimed by the oil’s maker, but the claim is registered with JASO, so it can be checked against the register. The “exceeds” next to Rotax 253, however, is 77 Lubricants’ word alone, not that of whoever issues the approval. The article on “approved”, “meets” and “recommended” on the can, and how to check an approval sets out who stands behind each of these wordings and where it can be checked.

A fully synthetic base does not in itself raise the class: JASO FD and ISO-L-EGD are claimed for the semi-synthetic 2T Extra and 2T Extra Red as well. What sets SYN 2T apart from 2T Extra lies elsewhere: the Rotax 253 requirements, which Extra does not claim, a viscosity index of 158 against 123, a pour point of -54 °C against -36 °C and a base number of 2.2 mg KOH/g against 1.2 mg KOH/g.
