Hi, you will looking for a semi synthetic 2 stroke oil for mixture, I always used Silkolene once I could afford to.

Gearbox oil you are looking for is SAE30. Brand is irrelevant on this one.

Fully Synth on a standard untuned motor is totally unnecessary.

Agreed, but if you can't get the GL4 oil, use non-detergent 30w.
