for the sohn adapter reservoir can i have just pure idemitsu premix oil in there when i get that fluid?
Checkers/o'reilly'y sells a lucas 2 cycle oil that is jaso fc & fd, maybe check there again for this bottle? I have heard that the tcw3 stuff can end up hurting your cat, since you are in california I assume you have one.

Most sporting good stores sell decent JASO rated 2 stroke oils too. I use one made by Mystik in between shipments of Idemitsu.

Thread revival! I saw some people mention Lucas oil and its JASO certification.....so here's the official list of JASO Panel certified engine oil list. Lucas is curiously absent. "Meets or exceeds" is one thing, but all JASO-certified oils have a number on the bottle confirming whether or not they are actually certified.
