Force is shy on synthetics, lots of horror stories. I have used Amsoil 2 stroke for 45 years now. Not only in outboards but in weed eaters, saws, ice drills, and 2 stroke lawn mowers. It provides an extra measure of protection in case of overheating. It minimizes and virtually eliminates carbon development. This keeps exhaust passages and combustion chambers clear. Why is that good? In the case of many outboards and saws, too much back pressure causes richer running, loss of power, more toxic, polluting exhaust. Besides that, carbon development on piston rings can block lubrication, causing sticky rings and eventual scoring. Carbon is not good. It will cause blockages in the exhaust chambers and thus creating more heat....not beneficial. Besides that, carbon can increase compression beyond design parameters, causing hard starting and excessive wear. Carbon is created with use of petrol base oil when mixed in richer ratios in order to supply adequate lubrication. (nature of the beast". Amsoil use in place of petrol base oil will actually help eliminate some of the old carbon deposits. My 1965 Evinrude 6 hp Fisherman still runs like new after 46 years of use and nearly 4,000 hours of operation. I have used Amsoil 100;1 mixed at 1.5 to 2 oz. per gallon since 1975. I get 2 to 3 seasons of operation on a single set of J6C plugs. Probably could go longer, but plugs are only 2 bucks each. Force is simply unsure of synthetic and certainly never tested their motors with Amsoil. Another thing to consider, oil injection will over supply synthetics and thats not good either. Amsoil came out with a special injector 2 stroke which is actually not as good as the premix....you could call it "diluted". Injection systems, of course, can't recognize better quality oil and "overdose" it.
