I have heard that the synthetic is not as good as the dino. I would have to defer to someone that knows better than me for the why. As for me the dino is cheaper and easy to get and for the most part I am a dino guy anyway.

I tend to avoid synthetic 2 cycle oil. First off there is no gain to using a more expensive synthetic over petroleum oils. Not to mention synthetic oils do not have PPD (pour point depressants) because of the synthetic oils don't have paraffin waxes. PPD's are good for winter time use small amount of change in pour points for your fuel where synthetics will not.

Yep, I've always leaned toward the petroleum based products too, but reason for asking is that I have been running the penz. Synthetic 2 stroke lately  since that's whatI I run in the outboard I just stock up on that particular brand, and it seems to have made the vp more quiet than before when using the super tech. I just was wondering the long term effects

I too think the super tech from Walmart is not as good.

 

My other truck is a flatbed and the fuel fill is in the side rail making it tough to pour in the 2 stroke, so I have to use a cardboard paper towel tube extended in there. When I poured the Super Tech one day I noticed how much faster it soaked thru the cardboard getting my hands/ fingers oiled.  I usually go for Pennzoil brand or West marine stuff.
