So what's the current two stroke oil favorite?

Write down how much oil you pour in

5oz Dominator/gallon of fuel

 

[Partner]

5oz Dominator/gallon of fuel

150ml / 3.8L A lot, I don't even know what the ratio is

150ml / 3.8L A lot, I don't even know what the ratio is

That's approximately 25:1

 

[AnthemBassMan]

I use 6.4oz of oil in a 2 gallon can of ethanol free gas. I run this mix in everything I have and I’ve never run into any ooze coming from the exhaust. Just picked up another quart of Amsoil Saber. Now I did try a two gallon can of some Pennzoil XLF at 32:1 for my Lawn-Boys and I had oil drips from the muffler. The first and last time I used that mix. Still have the jug of XLF with 3-1/2 quarts left in it.

I also think it also depends on the oil / Once I saw some mud in the muffler, I think someone poured a lot of poor quality oil, I have a photo somewhere, if I find it I will post it

Absolutely. Oil quality has a lot to do with it too.

A great oil will help make a crap fuel look good

A great fuel is still boogered up by a crap oil

I bought some Stihl orange bottle yesterday while i was at Ace Hardware

All chainsaws will work better with oil, then without.

There’s definitely better oils out there, but lower quality oil is still better than none.

it also works without oil, but only for a short time

Good for people who rebuild those saws $, bad for saw and it's owner.

Torn apart a husky 353 today.
The Maxima Super M seems to leave a very greasy feeling oil film in the saw like the caster oil.
Super M is new to me oil, I run Dom for a while.
The Dominator is not that greasy.

i’ve used the racing oil and all that stuff it doesn’t really seem to make a difference to me. To each their own

 

[pbillyi69]

good quality oil with good gas mixed correctly is what matters the most

That's what papaw always used and I don't remember him ever having any problems, or being very particular about ratio. I have an old metal can of it from his garage. It dates to when Stihl specified 40:1. I always have a bunch of synthetic oil in the garage, but if orange bottle was all I had then I would use it without worry. I have some Husky XP I need to get around to trying.

I never had a problem with Stihl orange bottle oil and I ran a lot of it back in the day. The ultra gives me a headache. After seeing the inside of a couple of my saws on dominator I won’t be switching unless they jack the price way up.
