What oil is best? and what ratio?

Do you think seafoam is worth the money for storing gas..i just bought some for the hell of it.

I've used it in quite a bit of equipment. I think it's one of the better additives for the money.

Ive been using Chevron Techron and seeing a difference in carbon buildup

I've heard good things about Techron too, from GM mechanics.

I've only used PRI-G and Stabil. Seafoam is at least 25% alcohol.

I don't know about using it for storage. But I had a few Honda 5.5 - 8hp engines running like shat. Needed the choke half on to idle. I added a few oz of sf to a quarter of a gallon in the tank and ran them enough to get in the carb. A few weeks later they ran like new. Now I add it to every can I fill.

I ran 1oz to a gallon along with my 3oz of kl200 per gal. And the top of the piston wiped clean when using the techron

Not for storage. I use it for the prevention. Lol .

I've never used it myself, but we had a diesel chipper that was running like crap, hard starting, missing, losing power , etc so one of the mechanics did something with seafoam and that sumbitch smoked like an old freight train for about 15 minutes and then ran like new and has been fine since.

I ran a few saws today with valvoline, klotz original, and maybe Benol. None blew up.

I don't change oils daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. I don't judge a oils benefit to engine by smell, color or marketing written on a bottle. Find a good oil based on its performance and stick to it. Going round in circles will just make you dizzy.

I agree. Alota folks here that work on saws and tested all these oils and have seen the difference internally in their saws are now using the same oil . Wonder why that is? Alota folks jumpin around between oils and say oil is oil and they all work and all they really know is it hasnt burn my saw up yet but they havent seen the bottom or topend to actually know what is goin on in their saw.
