Echo Red Armour = semi synthetic

[Ford3000]

I would like to try it, but I can't get it in Ireland, even though we have Echo dealers, it must cost more, everything revolves around profits here, the the sellers here make more off them cheap stuff, the PowerBlendX I have here was made in the USA, so it's not like importing it I am issue.

NO, the context was

I agree, but the image is of a pool of oil, that is the oil I would like to see
making its way onto the crank bearing, and having a sloped surface where
it pooled after running down the piston would help.

The only time oil could lay on top of the crank like that would be at tdc. I’m not entirely certain but I doubt most saws return to exactly tdc every time they’re turned off

Looks like am the only one who sees that oil runs off the cylinder
walls and piston when the engine is stopped, and that it could be
channeled to the most difficult bearing to replace.

As soon you crank that saw over to start it that oil is flinging around the inside of the case and there still is oil in the bearings from last time it was ran along with the corrosion inhibitors from the oil. Not really a big deal the oil doesn’t get funneled right to that bearing because the bearing will only hold as much as it can no matter how much you dump on it.

If it’s really a concern a person could always put piston at bottom dead center and fill case with oil for long term storage just remember to dump it out before using next time. Or use digging oil that clings to stuff

Would be nice if the surfaces of the crank were sloped inward towards
the bearing, that oil laying where it is wont help the bearings any.

The oil is covering everything including the bearing. Can't get a pic of that.

The oil being where it is is actually great, the crank is able to sling oil up at the wrist pin bearing.

I agree with all you said, my ideaa of channeling the oil to the bottom
bearing will not upset that process in any way, all it could ever do is help.

Ireland

But they have great whiskey

Not a concern, just an observation.

@mettee ,they dont make the safety sheet available, and I wouldnt like
to run it unless I knew it was safe to, hear it has great anesthetic
properties though, way better than that red armor stuff, but am
afraid of the flash point being too low, maybe eat a curyy and
blow that arse out of my trousers.

What about this?

Are we talking about whiskey or 2 stroke oil?

RA is not sold anywhere except America. Europe already has Power Blend Gold instead of X with slight improvements.

Biggest RA’s advantage over PBG is better detergent characteristics and leaving very little carbon deposits.

Actually using red colored oil in most areas of Europe would get little recognition as it would immediately be presumed to be repacked and overpriced Stihl HP/Dolmakita/MTD oil originally coming from Zeller+Gmelin. Yes, majority of 2-stroke users are only that much smart about oils...

Well whiskey of course.
Be bad enough explaining a scored cylinder,
let alone a pair of trousers with no arse, and some bad scoring.

A safety sheet for Bush Mills Whiskey

No Echo powerblend gold, or red armor in my area.

 

[whitesnake]

Stihl Ultra sucks in large quantities.

Plus it smells like a mixture of burning water bottles & cats.

Burning cats? Like General Tso? Sesame? Bourbon?

I'm just sittin' back watchin' y'all debate someone about where oil pools when a saw is shut off...

 

[Nutball]

While we're on the subject, who has the best price on RA? I've found the 6.4oz bottles are the best deal by far over the gallon jugs.
