@tree monkey said it best - reason to run 32:1 isn't for the oil between the jug and piston. It's for the bearings.

I've tested Amsoil Saber - ran 32:1 amsoil saber for 3 gallons on a brand new 661. (there is dirko because I gasket deleted it right out of the box) Here are those pictures. Notice the build up on the EX skirt?

My best friend is an amsoil fanatic. He has an 026 that's only ever had 100:1 amsoil. It's gone though at least 4 bars and the piston looks new. Mine still get it at 40:1.

The whole family runs 100:1 in all their sleds and quads. No issues and they run them hard.
I'm not actually advocating that... Just saying because this is the new oil thread. ;)

I run amsoil at 32:1. Talked to a rep about 80:1 and 100:1 and his reply was I could live the rest of my life like a king for the $'s spent by research to make such a claim!

Might be fine if it's run in a rich condition, lean it out to the edge....

This is my first day viewing and posting in this thread (possibly because I don't have a better recommendation that what I've read).
After seeing someone's recommendation of 20 years of experience that is pretty hefty evidence.
So the red stuff is not the "kool aid of champions?" :campeon2:

Normally I would just put this in the oil thread but since there is so much love for RA. Here goes...

661 after 15ish gallons of gas mixed 32:1 with Red Armor.

Maybe this stuff is really only meant to be run at a higher ratio? Have not seen this with the likes of 2R, HP2, or Schaeffers 7k or 9k.

Just got off the phone with Gary Richardson a rep. for schaeffers for 18 years who lives 20 miles south of me about 7000.He has been running this in his 2 stroke air-cooled for years with no problem as well as our local loggers who live around him with no problems he said. I am finishing up a 261 with a 262 oem piston build that he is going to give me 2 quarts of 7000 to run in it to see how it performs in it. Will see.
