First oil thread

Separation and scored a piston

I set some old OTP thinking 13months old out even uncovered in glass jar to test. Never separated in the ethanol gas like we see with none alky mixes. I imagine the gas degraded but it was still usable in all my testing with the old mix.

Ooh. That sucks, Mike.

Yes it does. Best oil for long term is the klotz original. I put some mix from the pump in the tru fuel cans and used it over a year later.

My H1/R seems to stay mixed. Never tried Klotz.

I couldn't get a few saws rich enough with it. Plus it made my sinuses go crazy after an hour or so.

Leaves a brown dirty film everywhere, cant tell if you should clean it or assemble it

I been running a 50/50 mix of R50 & 800 Off Road @ 24:1

What's the lowest ratio you've tried?

 

[Deets066]

I finished up a quart of 800, good oil.
Now I'm on some Mobil 1 2T. Both at 32:1

 

[Moparmyway]

I have run 32:1 as well. I smell the R50, but it doesn't get to me like straight R50 does

Maxima K2 @ 32:1 for the monkeyed up and such saws. Still using the last of my Stihl Ultra (for extended warranty) at 50:1 in the Stihl Kombi and stocker 241cm.

Super techniplate. Saw hasn't been run in around 4 months. I think I ran 2 or 3 tanks with super in it playing around back in the summer.

How much you dropping the jug on that one?

You use pen or very fine sharpie to mark the ex. Port?

 

[Ron660]

I've been using Motul 800 off-road at 32:1 for the last 1.5 yrs with really good results. I'm trying Honda HP2 next to compare.

Not a whole lot .040" or so. Mechanical pencil.

I know the VP canned Fuel Says does not require shaking , they must feel it doesn't seperate. I guess it's motul 710 from what I read

 

[mdavlee]

H1R says it doesn't mix with methanol but doesn't mention ethanol. That kind of makes me wonder if you got E15 or E20 by accident if it would stay mixed.

Red Armor @40:1 for a stock unit or 32:1 for a saw that has been "Worked On."
