I use Lucas semi synthetic and it claimes "smokeless, low ash" on the bottle. it smokes like any 2 stroke until it warms up. so I'm sure it is just another gimmick to get people to buy into it who do not like their machine smoking. I mean most won't pay attention to the exhaust other than when its warming up. after you are riding you could care less lol

It is Lucas brand. What brand does others use. The reason I tried it is because I ride in a national forest sometimes and they don't like the smoke in the forest, it could cause damage to the environment. It made me want to hug a tree or two. But you have to follow the rules to ride there. As for the smoke it doesn't bother me cause its a two stroke. Thanks Billy

I ran Lucas for a while, then switched to amsoil. Amsoil was $7 more a gallon and I've heard lots of great things about it. I used to run wallyworld oil at $12@ gallon until hoser and Fatcat gave me shit about it...LOL! I will also run amsoil in my waverunners this year to and see how I like it... Smokeless...pfsst....
