Ha ha - another best stuff thread. These kill me.
But seriously - looking specifically for input from guys with
experience in tear downs. It seems to me that the only compelling
reason to pick one oil over another is powervalve spooge. As I've
never seen a powervalve, much less even know where they are, I figured
I'd start here.
I would guess that most oils are fine, but I'm sure there are a few to
avoid. Inputs?

You really can't go wrong with any synthetic 2 stroke oil. I used
Yamalube for years with no issues. I switched to Mobile 1 until the
pulled it from the market. I am now using Honda synthetic 2 stroke
oil because the Honda shop is close to home.
Go syn!

Is that why the bottle no longer says "MX 2T" on it. What is available
now, says "synthetic" and burns clean. I miss the dye, though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Yamalube a "Semi-synthetic"? The
bottle I bought said that - or is there more than one kind?

You are correct. I still use synthetic 2 stroke oils at this point.
