What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Keith Gandy]

My 064 is the first "big" saw I bought. It's just a great balance of power and weight in a saw.

I agree. I have a 28 es light on mine and it has the perfect balance

Well fellers I believe Ive figured it out

Hadnt tried any yet.

no smell so far with me and i love the tropical blue color of it mixed

I mixed 5 gallons 50:1 today with Saber[emoji51]

I think that is a good choice. I'm seeing Saber as a very good oil these days.

40:1 is what I usually mix but had enough for 50:1 in the bottle so I just mixed it.

Everything seems to like it better than the thicker bike oils i've used, except HP2 and Yamalube 2R they ran well on those but they're thinner.

Ill actually use this for customers equipment in the shop and pump gas as I figure ill try and tune for what they run

 

[Keith Gandy]

Does pump gas tune differently than e free?

I have a dear friend that has tested a ton of oil in mtronic and Autotune saws. He is seeing them run best on Saber or Husky premix.

Between his tests, and Redbull's, I've decided that I don't know a damn thing about oil and just need to watch and learn.

I don't think its a coincidence that auto tune and Mtronic saws run better on oil blended for OPE

I don't either. I do like that the 2R seems to at least not hurt their performance too much. I have 3 more quarts. lol

 

[jake wells]

in the end this works out the best for me burns clean no smell and a gallon can be had for 28.99 at my local dealer im going to mix it at 40:1 it will be enough mixing oil for 40 gallons of mix.

I've been very busy over these last couple of years with modding saws. That's a blessing, but it has hindered my ability to do the indepth testing I once did. What you guys have tested over these last few months has really helped me learn. I really appreciate the sharing that has happened since this site started.

 

[Benelli777]

Well I am certainly not an oil guru like you guys.

On my 2 auto tune saws ( MMWS 545 and 562xp) I used 3 liters of Yamalube 2R and 562 had a little carbon crust on exhaust port. Saws liked it

Bought a liter of Motul 710 to try. Not too thick of an oil saws ran fine with it. I will see when I use it more.

 

[Keith Gandy]

I cant test anything sittin on this d9 12hrs/day and a shop with trimmers and blowers to fix when I get home

 

[jmssaws]

I don't do blowers and trimmers,use to but I stopped. Can't make any money rebuilding carbs.

Ahem bike oil ........

The saw blended oils also have fuel stabilizers a lot of the bike oils do not have ,which i like now ,because some of my stuff sits more than others .

Is that the XP or Low Smoke oil?
