Eni i-Ride racing 2T

Worth knowing

Of Eni’s two-stroke oils in the catalogue, this is the only one with JASO FD. On data-sheet figures its nearest match is the snowmobile oil Eni Snow racing 2T: 72 and 11.1 mm²/s at 40 and 100 °C, a viscosity index of 146 and a pour point of -45 °C are identical in both, and ISO-L-EGD is shared too. What sets them apart is the set of classes: Snow racing 2T has API TC and, of the Japanese classes, only FC, so it does not meet the FD requirement, however close its viscosity. The i-Ride scooter 2T and Mix 2T have neither FD nor ISO-L-EGD. All the oils in the catalogue with this class are collected on the JASO FD page.

The 96 °C flash point was measured to ASTM D93 in a closed cup and is above 70 °C, the lower limit common to FB, FC and FD in JASO M345. The article on JASO FB, FC, FD and ISO EGD two-stroke oils explains why FD and ISO-L-EGD together on one can do not amount to two identical requirements.
