[black][size 3]Castrol TTS is a smokeless full synthetic 2–stroke engine oil designed to maintain a tough, replenishing layer of protection on critical engine parts. It reacts to changes in engine operating temperature, which frequently occur in high powered 2–stroke engines, releasing extra power as needed. It delivers unbeatable protection against thermal and mechanical breakdown. Designed for both oil injection and pre–mix applications.[/size][/black][/font][/center]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]If not, you can get it in the cycle shops. One quart goes a long way when using it with an ice auger. At 24 to 1 ratio, it's good for three gallons of fuel. [/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Also I recommend adding Sea Foam fuel additive to your auger fuel. Add one ounce Sea Foam to one gallon of gas. Sea Foam stabilizes fuel, acts as a de-icer, dries fuel, keeps the fuel system clean. Well worth the add cost of about $5 a bottle. It too will go a long way.[/size][/black][/font]
