Optima® is specially formulated to be easy on gaskets, o-rings, and other fuel system components. It also promotes quick mixing with 2-stroke oils in both air-cooled and water-cooled applications. Sunoco Optima is an excellent choice for gasoline-powered yard, farm, and industrial equipment and other small engine applications that may not be used on a regular basis. Gasoline stabilizers are not needed when using Sunoco Optima.

Sunoco Optima contains detergent additives for engine cleanliness as well as anti-oxidants and corrosion inhibitors to enhance storage life. Optima is not a street-legal fuel. However, it will not harm oxygen sensors or catalytic converters. When stored in air-tight, opaque fuel containers, the shelf life of Sunoco Optima is in excess of three years.
