Anyone see an issue with this oil for autolube? Personally I think it’s pretty good because when I melted my dt360 piston on Christmas Eve day - meaning crown temp exceeded 1171F - the cylinder remained un-scored but for scrapes due to dislocated rings.

This simply is not complete . . .

Semi or full synthetic is no problem at all.  Makes no difference.  Not much need for it.

I've been through several gallons of the super tech TCW-3 oil in my oil injected bikes.  Cheapest stuff I can get and it works great.

2S if you use pump, 2R if you pre mix

Maybe a better way to ask the time-and-again oil question:

Has anyone ever seen, with their own eyes, any failure related to have a sub-par oil used in their engine or autoluber?

11 times out of 10, everyone just shares the oil they like and turns out all the oils are fine for use at this day and age. This isn't the Standard Oil of 1915...
