So what's the current two stroke oil favorite?

[nbbt]

Looks like you’re new here. We don’t talk politics on this forum.

I'm not Gibbs with the rules but I believe it's #8.

That’s a great show

That’s a great show

I’m still watching it after around 20 years, even watched the spin offs including origins that’s on now which is the how Gibbs got into ncis

i couldnt agree more. Abby is my fav

Sticker shock! Increased from $37.99 last year to $40.99+tax now.View attachment 462567

Isn’t tcw3 for two stroke outboards, ie colder running & not air-cooled engines? or have i missed prior info

Yes.

 

[Skiptooth Fred]

Yes.

Have seen such damage many saws

I'd run that stuff in one of @hacskaroly 's saws, but not one of my own.

 

[hacskaroly]

Run it full bore, all day long!!!

 

[cus_deluxe]

lots and lots of people have been running that stuff for years in saws with no issues. and it smells darn good too.

Yeah when Scott Kunz said he liked it and liked the way saws that had been run on it looked, I tried a few gallons. It’s great oil. I’d probably still use it if I wasn’t getting dominator cheaper.

 

[Sloughfoot]

I went through a couple of quarts of it. Smelled way better than the HP2 I'm using now.

Correct, he gets his ambitions mixed up with his capabilities. Many of his before/after test cut times you can tell he is manipulating the cuts to show better 'after mods' results. When he stared touting this boutique almost backyard Motomilk oil with aerospace nano technology improved cut times by 20%+ I called him out and mentioned how wild of a claim that was. You could mix up virtually any 5 2T oils at the same ratio and be lucky to even detect a 2% cut time difference, hell U could mix up 30wt, at 40:1 and still be within margin of error on a 6 second cut time. He didn't like this and went nuts calling me all sorts of names and stuff. I told him his temperature testing with an infrared gun was not a good idea, I tools him to go buy a sparkplug thermocouple washer plugged up to a K multimeter to do it right as an easy cheap solution. He kinda listened & started using a multimeter with temperature lead but didn't get the thermocouple washer, instead stuck a probe into the cooling fins which really just measured what the cooling fan was doing, not cylinder temps. So then making claims about oils and temperature is silly delusion at best. I was nice to him when making some suggestions which ruffled his feather and ego. Joe did a great job doing his tests, he is honest and doesn't play games. But I think he was even quite chuckling inside after informing him of the 'placebo effect' . One poor guy recently paid him to port a new MS261 & tbh it ran a fair bit worse than a stock saw. But that's YT lots of good info and plenty more stuff you get a laugh out of.

Apparently the dyno wasn’t good enough, building a cut machine to take the human error out of it. What about wood density variation and everything else. I told him the dyno was to take the human error out and the results are 100% believable. Him designing a machine to do the tests because he doesn’t believe the dyno is like designing a new steel ruler to measure with because you don’t believe your micrometer. Any tool he comes up with will be worse than the tool he already used to measure results.

Seen his 400.1 review? It's something else.

Probably still believes in the tooth fairy.
