Hate to say it...

Meaning maybe too wet, equalling less power?

Its main job is friction reduction but what migrates to the topend is resisting combustion IMO. The ideal situation would be no oil in the combustion chamber and the outer cylinder walls lubricated

THAT would be ideal. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
Question still arises as to what that IDEAL oil is. LOL

Yamalube combust completely and forms carbon on top of the piston about as quick as any oil Ive seen if the equipment is tuned properly and loaded

In a worksaw I think about which protects the best

 

[Keith Gandy]

My 2 favorites for both performance and protection r Maxima K2 and Klotz KL200

What happened to Red Armor Keith? You sold me on it before. ???

The old recipe! I dont care for the new concoction

OK. Good. I bought a bunch of the old stuff. Actually Shindaiwa. [emoji106]

That would be all of it.

I wouldn’t ruin good oil by mixing motul 800 with it. Lol

I've mixed 800 with 710 (50/50 & 25/75) just experimenting and had excellent results.
800 worked well, tuned properly and no wet muffler, if cutting stumps. Wet muffler if firewood cutting. I'm currently using 710 in all my saws and trimmers at 32:1.

Think he may mean what’s left on top likely.

 

[Ron660]

Recipe my saws like.

So what about runnin some of these “wet” oils at 50 1. Seems like there d still be plenty of oil.
Me personally I’m back to air cooled but I do still have some benol left

I've used 800 at 45:1 in my 660 with the same results (wet muffler) when cutting firewood. Piston looks new but inside muffler fairly wet. Same with my hybrid, 372, 036, and 021. They had good power with 800 just 710 seems better suited for chainsaw and trimmer applications rather than 800. If I was milling I'd use 800.

Whats wrong with wet?

Higher compression
Better ring seal both above and below
no rusted muffler bolts

Yeah theres the EPA thing with smoke and all.

Me i use Maxima K2

 

[Ron660]

Like Keith said, protection/lubrication are the main criteria of oils. In addition to these, cleanliness is also important.

I'm all 'bout longevity in all my machines. Whatever is going to make it last is what I'm using.

On the topic of "expired" oil, I found a sealed bottle of Walmart Supertech 10w30, API SJ in mom's shed, probably early 2000's vintage. Looking through the side of the bottle it is darker than I remember it, and I've been using this stuff for 20+ years. Looks like it's going in the Ferguson, API SB was state of the art when she rolled off the line!

Nothing wrong, it lubricating well, just not making the power it should. If your two stroke engine has no wash then it’s not running optimal
