    Lucas makes some good products. I feel certain it meets or exceeds the OEM requirements.
    There are many others out there also.
    Make sure its for air cooled engines

    What does Semi-synthetic mean? That's the first thing that caught my eye.

    Semi synthetic is usually a blend of synthetic and dino oil versus a full synthetic that contains 0 dinosaurs.

    It seems that some synthetics just have the dinosaurs distilled out of them?
    Some are made from natural gas or methane.

    Dino oil usually starts as crude drilled from the ground. Synthetic can be gas or mineral based.

    I use it... my bottles don't look like that. I get mine from Orielly's... I use it at 32:1 since I have ported saws, just added protection...
