What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Cut4fun]

Well most of the guys here that can take their saws apart and take a look at what these oils are doing in the bottomend have all said Klotz was lubing the best of any. Not sure what else anyone is lookin for? Good oil in the bottomhalf, smells good, mixes good, runs good, and combust like it should

Because of your great feedback at your ratio with KL-200 . I am going to step back 4 ounces from 20 ounces to 16 ounces per 5 gal now to test out. Been running 32 for 10 years I think.

Same reasons why there is a YZ vs CR debate...it all boils down to preference

Sent from my non internal combustion device.

If you get low on the picking list on treemonkey raffle. I put a QT of KL-200 up for grabs for someone to try out.

burn it in my oil lamp haha.

Cheap, available, and works

I can pull my saws down, i just don' get overly worried about a perfect wash pattern. As long as it lubes good enough and isn't black and gooey like 800, smell isn't a problem and long as it doesn't gag me like R50 or give me a headache like Ultra.

Chris r50 did bother me also alil in a cramped spot

Their 100:1 mix claim and 25k miles between oil changes are the 2 i know about. A lot of people call BS and stay away from Amsoil.

Their marketing department is amazingly optimistic. I wouldn't use mix at a 100:1 to start a fire with and if the oil was that great all of motorsports would use/recommend it. I'm sure it's fine when it's used just like any other normal oil.

Its too much for me its nauseating especially in a tight canopy or flushing cutting a stump

Ported saws need no special treatment

Mastermind says so......he's the Boss!

R50, h1r, 800 all suck in close spaces or milling with no breeze. Hp2 wasn't bad at 32:1. 20:1 was a little strong. Mobil isn't bad @32:1 milling.

Cleaner burning is one criteria we're looking for. Motul will lube plenty in the lower-end.

I didn't like it at all. I was burning a tank in 7 minutes in 5' too

 

[jake wells]

makes me wonder what yall used before using botique oils. maybe try the husqvarna ls or xp at 32:1.

What you aren't understanding is using Motul and 24:1 nothing is actually burning.

Correction ole buddy, you are looking for. Most guys are looking for a good carbon topped piston

It didnt leave near the oil in the bottomend as Klotz. Sorry ole buddy but been there and already done it. Better use Klotz if u want the best protection in the bottomend and combust up top like it should

390 I sold. Run a lot of 800 in it. Pretty thick carbon.
