I know its possible to run 2% but personally I think 3% is a better option.

I would stick to 3% at least. I'm still using 4% but that's just my personal choice. You'd probably be ok with that oil and 2% but it's a bit of a gamble which is not worth taking IMO :)

I run everything (stock125 to ts1) on 3% except my RB. Never had one problem with seizing or gumming up.
