Oil

Hi folks , can I use this in my 97 challenged

I would not simply because it does not say anywhere that it is API-TC rated.
If you are looking for a less expensive oil look at the Lucas 2-stroke.

Only use the exact one below because Lucas does make some that are not API-TC approved.

Should it be full synthetic

To keep the rave valves clean, yes it should be full synthetic

I think the Quicksilver is JASO rated
I think JASO is a higher standard than API TC
Could be wrong
Also think Quicksilver used to be API TC…then stopped saying so on the label
Never had a problem with the Quicksilver

JASO is a different rating system so it is hard to compare them directly.
Since it no longer states API-TC on the bottle I stopped recommending it. Also it states "Biodegradable" which would point to an TCW-3 oil and not good for API-TC engines.

The full synthetic ($29.99) is cheaper than the semi-synthetic ($35.99) per gallon. check out Summit Racing.com

After exchange to Canadian that’s about 40.00 a gallon, going to have to consider switching but really not looking forward to cleaning out the oil tanks and changing filters on my machines. The XPS full synthetic was over 80.00 a gallon here
