That's good Ryan. Glad to hear the 362 is running well...
But I am talking long term, not short term...
Years down the road. Only time will tell...

40:1 is just fine with good erl... I think too rich oil mix confuses the mtronic/autotune sometimes. After all they were designed for 50:1 mix I would guess.

I know if I was gonna run one of these overkill motorcycle oils in a chainsaw it would undoubtedly be at 50:1..if they last long on ope oils at that ratio then it's only better with an oil for a 50hp motor.

What do the years matter ?

If you put 1000 hours on it in a year or 20 years it doesn't matter ... the use is the use.

Lol.

For most of us here, its about years... But I see your point.

What do you mean ?

That doesn't really make sense.

We've used red armor all summer. It works.

Nothing wrong with using oil made for chainsaws right?... I do it too. Lol

Most of us here do not put that many hours on 1 saw in 1 year.
For example, I owned a Stihl 029 for almost 25 years. I ran that saw much harder than it was designed for, but it was still running in tip top shape when I sold it a year or so back..
Cut minimum 25 cord a year with that saw. It lasted. Only changed fuel lines once and plug a couple times. Piston and cylinder were perfect as the day I got it.
Just an en example.
I need saws that last 25 years...

I use 40:1 with ope oil in my "personal" saws..

I couldn't give you a reason why though..I guess because chainsaw forums told me to.

Did you run 32:1 in it from day one with bike oil?

Soooo...what oil ratio did you run..

I still think you're missing what I'm saying..

Obviously..it lasted 25 years. Lol.

Maybe 32:1 is good for storage ?

I ran Stihl orange bottle oil at 50:1 for 20 years,then when I found this site I started going 40:1... I switched to Stihl Silver bottle Ultra. Then stopped after two - 6 packs.
Bought "other" saws, and the rest is history... [emoji16]

No... It's all good Ryan... No worries here...
I'll go on about my business...

You answered your own question...

Yup

The oily bird gets the worm.

Some of my saws tell me to do that...

I had to put instructions on this saw for its owner.
