Hi Chuck,

here´s a short excerpt from theMobil Oil Website (www.mobil-oil.com):

Mobil 1 Racing 4T:
- -100% synthetic race proven 4-stroke engine oil, SAE 15W/50
- -Recommended for all on and off road 4-strokes
- -...

Mobil 1 Racing 2T:
- -100% synthetic race proven 2-stroke engine oil, recommended for all on and
off road 2-strokes

Mobil Extra 4T:
A superior semi-synthetic oil recommended for all 4-stroke engines

Mobil Extra 2T:
A superior semi-synthetic oil with a carefully selected additive package
recommended for all on and off road 2-stroke machines

...

The 2T or 4T is also on quite a lot of oils here in Germany.

Have a nice weekend!

Thomas
