Hello lawnmowerdan.

I will be back here with an update.

Good day.

+1 on what dan said, Mobil 2T is clean burning and reduces friction to the point of noticing a faster reving and higher idle speed (less running friction). I have never used a two-cycle oil like Mobil 2T, IMHO it is the best 2-cycle oil on the planet!

i just wish it wasnt the hardest 2 cyc oil on the planet to get! whent to advanced auto where they have mobil 4 t on the self and asked the manager if he could special order 2t. i had the sku code and bar code from auto zone but no luck! i even offered to buy a whole case! -no go!now i am torn wether to use up my stash now and hope i can get some more in the future or start rationing its use to only my newest most $$$ equiptment. this means a seprate mix/can to carry around.

TORCO GP-7 fully synthetic moto-x oil. Torco pioneered oils back in the early 50's for nitro engines and the "black death" syndrome. They continue to be industry leaders with top notch products. Never used the Mobil T2, but did "eye" a bottle at my local AutoZone. Couldn't get myself to switch from Torco.

ANYONE having trouble finding oil to use, ie Mobil T2, I will be more than happy to send you pints or quarts of GP-7
or T2R which is a synthetic blend. I'm not a distributor, but a good friend is. It's as pricey or more than Mobil, but that doesn't bother me. PLENTY is available year round, also blends for PWC, OUTBOARDS, SNOWMOBILES, etc.

i found a motorcycle dealer who has torco very close by. i will try it and report back

Thanks for the trial test lawnmowerdan! I'm very curious as to how it will perform against the Mobil T2. Go with the GP7 @ either 32:1 or 40:1.

Funny enough, I was just looking for it today. I scored a quart at my local Autozone - first try. I used it a lot today in my RedMax trimmer and some in my Echo blower. I was trimming along, minding my own business, when I finally noticed that I noticed nothing...no smoke, no smell. This stuff is great! I can't vouch for more power, but Mobil knows their stuff and I'm sure it's a great protectant.

Hello all.

Tried the Mobil 2T in my string trimmer today.
My five year old trimmer runs smoother,faster throttle response and better than the day I took it out the box new.
I know for a fact my string trimmer picked up a lot of spunk last week when I gave it a LawnBoy oil drink mixed with Marvel Mystery Oil.
I'm sure the Marvel Mystery Oil cleaned up the internals.
I wish that I could have tested the Mobil 2T first, then later the LawnBoy oil/Marvel Mystery Oil mix.
No visible smoke ever with the LawnBoy oil and no smoke with the Mobil 2T. I did notice that the Mobil 2T exhaust does not smell like the LawnBoy Oil.
My trimmer seems to run a bit cooler with the Mobil 2T.

Good day.

matt-i would go around your city and see if any of the other autozone stores have any left . this is how i got my supplly. you found some old stock as auto zone hasnt carried this oil for almost 2 yrs now. adding marvel mys oil is not ness. when you have a high quality oil to start with.

Hello all.

The Mobil help desk person informed me that autozone can still order Mobil 2T ?
I guess they will tell you anything over the phone.

Thanks for the heads up lawnmowerdan. Right now I'm putting on my boogie shoes and jet down to the "spot" and pick up some more Mobil 2T old stock :)
Be right back.

Good day.

last time i went to auto zone and asked for it-they looked at me like i was from mars. hope you have better luck finding/ordering it there than i did. if you find some on the shelf-i would buy every bottle they have.

Actually, I was just there to pick up a belt for a self propeller, and jaunted back to the oils to find what WAS there is now gone, but the price tags still remains @ $7.19 per quart. Seems others know what's good! I'm sure they'll restock it soon. If any of you fellas are true Mobil diehards, I will buy what they have in stock and mail it to you for $100 per quart! LMAO. I figured what NEW Duraforces are selling for on Ebay today, I figured well then...... just kidding guys! I'll buy it and mail it to you for the exact penny it cost me! Just let me know, I'd be happy to do it!!

Hello all.

Hi lawnmowerdan. Did you get a chance to trial test the TORCO GP-7 or the T2R?

havent been to the motorcycle shop yet but i prommise to report back when i do try it

Hello all.

OK lawnmowerdan.

Good day.

I just ordered a 6 qt case for $56 after shipping, 45 before here:

Here is a link that might be useful: AV Lube: 6 qt case of Mobil 2T

Hello all.

Topped off my LawnBoy Duraforce 2-cycle with the 8oz Mobil 2T, Sta-Bil and 2 gallons fresh fuel mix.

What mtgrs737 said, "Mobil 2T is clean burning and reduces friction to the point of noticing a faster reving and higher idle speed (less running friction).

What rollerzeke say, LawnBoy 2-cycle oil is very good...but I am thinking it is not in the same class as the Mobil 2T.

LawnBoy Duraforce + Mobil 2T = smoother running,cooler running, lots-o-reserve power and no smoke folks.

The LawnBoy Duraforce 2-cycle is all power friends.

Good day.

There is NOTHING else like "Mobil One Racing 2T" fully synthetic two-cycle oil on the planet! If you want the best you HAVE to use it, It is the titanium of oils! Nuff said!

A few here will be testing the "best on the planet" real soon. Who knows if Mobil will keep the badge or not!?

Hello all.

I found these Mobil One Racing 2T fully synthetic two-cycle oil test machines in my shed.

{{gwi:129251}}

echoman, No worries here!

I can assure you this guys, if Mobile does test better than,in any way from Torco, it will be by a SLIM margin. I will bet on that, and I'm not a gambling man. I will have 4 pints ready to distribute either this Saturday or Monday morning to those of you who have interest in comparing. I too have and continue to use Mobil synthetic oils. I used Mobil 1 in my Eldorado's Northstar, and run their trans fluid in my Cherokee's trans and transfer case. Good stuff! Holds up well. I'm curious as well. We'll see how it turns out.....

Rollerzeke, Looks like you have the best lookin test platform I've seen in a long time!

Hello all.

I can hear the call of the wild Bermuda grass.
Tomorrow I'm taking my LawnBoys out for a couple of laps around the Bermuda track.

Still running the Mobil 2T petrol mix.

Good day.

Stopped by an Auto Zone store in another small town near me today and they had 6qts of Mobil T2 racing oil. Needless to say i bought it. Mixed up a batch when i got home and tried it in an old Homelite Weedeater. I couldn't beleive the performance improvement. The store manager is going to try and order me another case. Will be trying it in a chainsaw and a Mantis tiller tomorrow. I mixed it at 40:1 hoping that ratio will work in all my two cycles?

I opened this thread expecting to here some cool music Zeke... Mixmaster and all... Heh! Nice machines up there.

they look at me like i am from mars when i ask to order it at autozone even though they used to sell it

Just got back from my autozone. They never heard of it. :(

Here are the numbers that are on the AutoZone sales receipt, don't know if it will help or not. #679520 98HC20 Mobil 1 RA. Cost me 7.19 per qt. + tax

i have used echomans torco gp-7 for about a week now with stellar results so far. it seems to be the = of mobil 2t so far. havnt tried it in a lawnboy yet but will report when i do. it burns increadably clean! less smell than 2t and no smoke!i also found it a t a motorcylce shop so i can buy more

Hello all.

Hi lawnmowerdan. Thanks for the Torco GP-7 update.

The Lawn Mowers Forum will be waiting for the LawnBoy/Torco GP-7 test results.

I'm scheduled to pick up another load of Mobil 2T old stock at my Autozone.

Good day.

As figured lawnmowerdan! It will make those LB's purrr like kittens! Will clean ring grooves, and ports through use.

Hello all.

Hi nod702. I also topped off my Homelite MightyLite 26cc straight shaft string trimmer with the Mobil One Racing 2T fully synthetic two-cycle oil fuel mix.

My Homelite MightyLite with Mobil 2T fuel mix is smooth running,cool running and has O'Mighty Lightning power.

Good day.

Ever since I started reading this thread, back in May,
I've been on the lookout for either the Turco or the
M2T. Well, the other day I was at Advance Auto and
asked the counter guy about either and he said he thought
there was something like that on a shelf of discontinued
items at the back of the store. I went there and there
were 2 pint bottles of the Mobil, so I bought them at
$3.38 per bottle. The counter guy said someone special
ordered a case and never came to pick them up and the
2 bottles were all that were left. As soon as my can
of 50/1 mix is empty I'll mix up a batch of the Mobil,
(I use the 50/1 on my JD trimmer and my Mantis).
I've been using Quicksilver in my Lawnboys this summer
and I kinda like it. It is distributed by Mercury
Mariner. I know that some say never to use outboard
motor oil in land based 2-cycles, but the lable says
it is good for 'all' 2-cycles. And the price is hard
to beat at about $12 per gallon jug.

iused quicksilver you years and its very good oil but the mobil 1 is a huge leap ahead in preformance

I've been comparing the Torco GP-7 to the Mobil 2T, and it's been very interesting. I'll have more details written soon, but a summary so far would be: these are equally fantastic and everyone with 2-cycle equipment should use one or the other...period!

After reading through this thread I decided to try and find the Mobil1 2XT oil and give it a try. I have been using the Homelite exact mix semi-synthetic, but the trimmers still smoke a lot and I end up stinking bad of gas and oil mix after only trimming for 30 mins. First stop: Autozone. Asked if they had any and you guessed it: "I think we have some out back." Sure enough the guy comes back with an open case with four bottles in it. I bought two quarts ($6.18 each)(I figure this should be a 5-10 year supply for me) and mixed up a 50:1 gallon of the stuff. Put it in my two trimmers. (Homelite Versa-Tool straight shaft and John Deere/Homelite C1200) They started easier, they idle better, little to no smoke (I think what I was seeing was mostly the old oil accumlations and drips burning off the muffler and case) and very smooth running at full throttle. These trimmers are very powerful anyway (30cc) but they felt even better running on this stuff. Hopefully they will gradually clean away the internal deposits. I'm sold and I never expected to be able tell any differences between the oils.

Hello all.

Hi williston. You have purchased a 5-10 year supply of one of the best fully synthetic two cycle engine oils sold today.

I also have a 10 year supply of the Mobil One Racing 2T fully synthetic two-cycle oil :)

Good day.

Did some more trimming with the C1200 on the Mobil1 2T mix and I don't see any smoke coming out of the muffler now. FWIW I mixed it up at 50:1 using an empty 2.6 oz "Exact-Mix" bottle to measure the oil. (I filled the bottle so it was probably closer to 3.0 ounces) I wan't to try it in my Husky chain saw next. I have always used Husky XP oil (50:1) in it and get a lot of smoke so if it's the same results as with the trimmers, it will be fantastic.

Hello all.

I'm taking the LawnBoy model 22260 (Mobil One Racing 2T fully synthetic two-cycle oil test machine) out to tame the wild Bermuda grass.

Got the LawnBoy models 10323 and 22260 Duraforce air vanes/rpm adjustments dialed in to run perfect with the Mobil 2T petrol mix.

Will try to get the LawnBoy 22261 in Mobil 2T "power mode hum" this season.

The LawnBoy Duraforce 2-cycle is all power friends.

Good day.
