Red Armor is the stuff!

64 million dollar question...who the *f-wordk knows!

 

[Wolverine]

This question was answered in the what oil is best and what ratio thread. 767 pages worth and I don’t have enough time this evening to go through them all.

Been running XP+ here...everything looks fine.

Good oil in MY experiences as well imho. YMMV. The real problem I found is when people tune there saws way way way too lean or either way way way too fat, along with disregarding maintenance... no oil will be good in those scenarios. I mean common sense right? I guess not so common.

Nah. I ran it for a good while before I got into millin. Then the smell bout knocked me out. All my junk did fine on it 40/1. Probably going back to it after I use up the RA, Cept for mill duty. I’ll use Klotz for that.

That's what I've been getting from the Stihl dealer. Better grab some more I guess. I've ran mureyama?? oil also and saws seemed to like it ok. Been on the red armor for a while now.

You live in Pa correct? I have a quart if you want to try it.

Everyone on this forum lives in pa

I am, good stuff! I either run red armor or amzoil dominator.

Any reason you are running Dominator over Saber? I believe AmsOil recommends Saber for outdoor power equipment.

You and I don't .

I have used it for 15- 20 years in all kinds of 2 strokes with good success.

Is that recommended for chainsaw use?

Nope

 

[trooney]

But it works just fine. If you read the real small print on the back it says its alright for chainsaws

 

[huskyboy]

It does clean up existing carbon pretty well. Just wish it was sold locally or was easier to find.

I just ordered a quart of that to try. I can't find anywhere to get locally yet. Closest vendors are 40+ miles away. Weird since they're out of my state.
