Or, dark humor....................
Ashless 2-stroke oil is good - synthetic is good - non-ashless is chock full of sulphur, which can fail State\Federal compliant DMV vehicle inspections, and destroys catalysts in those vehicles with a true catalytic converter - ours is an oxidation, or oxidizing catalyst converter, uses air and high EGT's to cremate the soot into harmless(?) ash, a known carcinogen - that was the end purpose of going to ULSD fuel, so all engines could contribute to the precious-metal catalyst manufacturers, a protected-group consortium that contributes heavily to certain politic(ians)al interests - FYI: those catalysts turn gasoline-combustion byproducts into equally-harmless(?) sulphuric acid (with it's singular odor of poop), thus the peeling paint on the front-ends and roofs of street-driven vehicles (and the resultant arguments amongst passengers in those self-same vehicles, as to who is the culprit responsible for that offensive odor!), and the prime reason for moving to latex-based paints with clear-coat finishes, and plated plastic grilles, bumpers, and bling trim items: mostly impervious to sulhpuric acid blown onto your vehicle by the vehicle(s) in front of you - prior to federally-mandated ULSD distribution and retail-station conversion in 2006, the sulphur in standard Diesel fuel would immediately destroy any mineral\chemical\platinum catalyst, supposing, of course, any Diesel-vehicle manufacturer actually equipped those vehicles with those catalysts - remember, an oxidizing converter uses O2 as the catalyst, as does your own body, and Diesel engines are noted for pumping way more O2 than they actually need - O2, a universally available, continually replenishable, mostly free gas.......er, catalyst - don't leave home without it...................
p.s.
Almost fergot:
Catalyst -
1 : a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a usually faster rate or under different conditions (as at a lower temperature) than otherwise possible
2 : an agent that provokes or speeds significant change or action
