You are in Europe. Best 2 strokes oil markets I ever seen there due to big companies offrering full synthetic oils on 2 strokes when 80', 90's and early 2000' had a ton of 2 stroke scooters and 75cc and 125cc motorcycles on the streets. I used Agip and Motul but you also have castrol there on the European markets. My recomendation is any oil that is full synthetic, motul for instance is very popular.

I was using Lucas semi-synthetic but have switched to Motul 710 full synthetic. The Motul has a higher flashpoint than the Lucas which means it can run and remain effective at higher temps. I also prefer the aroma of the Motul. The Motul is twice the price but I have more confidence with it cleaner plugs.

I also switched from Lucas to motul 710 I never looked back. I agree, the smell is lovely and perfomance is better.
