How I found a good motorcycle oil
During my life I have ridden different motorcycles, while I rode Minsk, Voskhod, IZH-Planet, I didn’t even think about oil, the engines worked fine. But when I bought the IZH-PS, after the first good race my piston jammed, I thought about it, there were only problems with the IZH-PS, as long as I don’t give the gas it goes all the way, but as soon as I give it the gas the piston or crankshaft jams. Disappointed in IZH-PS.
In my youth, I was involved in motocross for two years, we had cross-country ChZs, I remember there were no major problems with the piston ones, although they kicked them in the ass, oh so good, I also remember that the smell of smoke from the exhaust was very different from the usual smoke of a motorcycle. But the fool didn’t ask the coach what kind of oil he poured into the gasoline, but I know for sure that in addition to oil, he added castor oil, but since I don’t know exactly the composition of gasoline and oil for a motocross motorcycle, I won’t lie and invent anything.
I bought a cross-country ChZ-250, at first I poured two-stroke oil into the gasoline, but as soon as I gave it in, I felt that the engine was starting to drag (it might jam), I had to let off the gas and switch to moderate engine speeds.
Chance helped, I decided to go fishing on the cross-country ChZ-250, you can drive it off-road, shortening the distance, but I ran out of two-stroke oil, the question arose of what oil to dilute the gasoline with. There was only four-stroke semi-synthetic LUKOIL oil, I decided to dilute the gasoline with this oil, I think I won’t drive it, I’ll get there slowly and won’t harm the engine. But what a surprise I was when the motorcycle engine started running much softer, pulled faster, although I diluted the gasoline with four-stroke semi-synthetic oil, applied gas, beautifully, the engine was flogging and there were no signs of the piston sticking.
By the time I got to the pond, I was squeezing this cross-country ChZ-250 to the maximum, I got great pleasure from the ride, since then I have been diluting gasoline in my motorcycle and chainsaw only with four-stroke semi-synthetic oil, very pleased.
It turns out that four-stroke semi-synthetic oil is the best oil for a two-stroke engine and is cheaper than special two-stroke oil.
If you don’t believe me, check for yourself which is the best oil.

Izh Jupiter 5 where does the engine oil go? | Topic author: Veronica
Nina Stout correctly wrote that to lubricate the engine, oil is mixed with gasoline in a ratio of 1:20. Separately, oil is poured into Vadim’s gearbox. I’ll just clarify a little: in Izh Jupiter 5, oil is poured not from the right side but from the left, not from above but from the side Ilya, and there is no control screw there, there is a dipstick on the mentioned cap. More oil is poured into the flywheel cavity. For filling into the flywheel cavity, there is a screw plug with a slot for a screwdriver on the left half of the engine, near the engine mounting point. You need to put the motorcycle on a flat surface, unscrew this plug and pour Leonid oil into the hole so that the oil is flush with the edge of the Oksana hole.
Konstantin Oil must be mixed into gasoline
Ekaterina Oil is poured into the box from the top right side, on the side on the same side there is a control screw. Oil is not poured into the engine, but mixed with gasoline in a ratio of 1:20. Read the instructions.
Vladislav If you want to pour it into the engine, then try through the muffler
Maria On the left Izh has a rubber piece on the engine and it says Izh you unscrew it and it fills in there
For those who don’t know, I’ll explain what a two-stroke engine is, I won’t go into too much detail, in short, there are no valves in a two-stroke engine; oil is added to gasoline to lubricate the piston and crankshaft.
Such engines are found on motorcycles (although recently four-stroke ones are used more often), chainsaws with a two-stroke engine, gas mowers, some voltage generators, etc. Owners of motorcycles, chainsaws, and gas mowers often wonder why the piston is jammed, or why the compression quickly disappears, that the engine does not start well, starts working intermittently, they remove the cylinder, the piston with large scuffs and crazy output.
I also once asked myself this question, it turned out that the whole issue is the oil with which gasoline is diluted.
There are a lot of special two-stroke oils on sale, I don’t even go near them now, this oil is not suitable for two-stroke engines developing high engine speeds.
Of course, if you have an IZH-Planet, it is a low-revving motorcycle, then you can pour two-stroke oil into gasoline, or be very gentle with your motorcycle, do not give it gas all the way, then two-stroke oil will work, but if you like to give it gas, this oil will quickly ruin the piston two-stroke group.
It seems that the developers of two-stroke oil simply invented it but did not even test it, and oils such as M8, MC20 should not be allowed close to a two-stroke engine if you like to drive, and if you do not give a lot of gas, then these oils can be used.
But they will still very quickly wear out the piston group of a motorcycle, chainsaws, gas mowers, in short, kill a two-stroke.
Izh motorcycle engine - how much oil to fill
Izh 2.673 Cornet
Izh Cornet is a mini-motorcycle with a ground clearance of 195 mm. Characteristic features of this model are a high steering wheel, disc brakes and chrome parts. The lining is plastic, the footrests are moved forward. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the motorcycle is maneuverable and economical. It is equipped with a two-stroke 2-cylinder engine with a carburetor power supply system and air cooling. The lubrication system is combined (oil mixed with fuel). The estimated speed of the Izh Cornet motorcycle does not exceed 50 km/h.
Year of manufacture: 2001
Two-stroke 2-cylinder, carburetor, 50 cc. cm, 2.21 l. pp., oil volume – 20:1, approval: API-TC
Izh 6.113-020-05 Junker
Izh Junker is a recreational motorcycle with a ground clearance of 175 mm. It is made in the American style, and its distinctive features (compared to its predecessors) are a high steering wheel and a streamlined teardrop-shaped tank. The instrument panel is mounted on the tank.
The developers managed to ensure the comfort of passengers by installing a two-level saddle, which can accommodate just two. In addition, the Junker is equipped with a front disc brake, and a “drum” is installed at the rear.

An updated intake and exhaust system is installed, which is relatively quiet and provides higher thrust at low speeds than previous models. The total production volume of the Izh Junker motorcycle was 6,000 copies, including modifications for special services.
Years of production – 2000-2005
Two-stroke 2-barrel, carburetor, 347 cc. cm, power – 24 l. pp., oil volume – 20:1, approval – API-TC
Izh Planet 7
Izh Planet 7 is a middle-class motorcycle, the successor to the successful Planet 5 model. Owners positively evaluate Planet 7, which has a rather interesting original design, a powerful and economical engine and has high maintainability.
However, there are also disadvantages: low reliability of rear wheel bearings, insufficiently efficient air cooling (especially in hot weather), poor quality assembly and weak traction in versions with a trailer. The Izh Planet 7.107 modification periodically experiences strong engine vibrations.
Next, we note the main improvements compared to its predecessor (Planet-5): a lightweight 4-stroke engine of smaller volume but similar power, an electric starter for starting, a narrower gas tank, new instrument panel and optics with turn signals, electronic non-contact ignition, improved clutch, separate lubrication and five-speed gearbox. The improvements made had a positive effect on the dynamic qualities.
Years of production – 1987-2008
4-stroke, 2-cylinder, 250cc cm, 20 l. pp., oil volume – 2 liters, tolerance and viscosity: API-SG, SH, SJ; SAE 10W-40
