SX oil, specifically Shell Advance SX 2, is a premium quality mineral oil fortified with synthetic base fluid. It's designed for use in two-stroke engines.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Type: Mineral oil with synthetic additives. This blend aims to provide a good balance of lubrication and protection while keeping costs reasonable.
  • Purpose: Exclusively formulated for two-stroke engines. These engines often rely on oil mixed with fuel for lubrication.
  • Applications: Suitable for both oil injection and premix systems found in two-stroke motorcycles and other small engines (e.g., scooters, mopeds).

In essence, Shell Advance SX 2 aims to offer reliable lubrication and protection for two-stroke engines, exceeding basic mineral oil performance due to its synthetic components.
