I am willing to bet the viscosity of the Klotz was thicker than the scaffers ,the thicker viscosity alone would lean it out making faster cut times and a cleaner burn .
Something to maybe look into ,be nice if we could read viscosity of the mixed fuel somehow ,because on the auto tunes we can not adjust it out ourselves .

Says outboard on the bottle ,long term you will have a lot of baked on black goo inside your engine if keep running tc-w3 type oil in a saw.
If set on walmart oil ,the oil Keith recommended may be better in the silver bottle marked air cooled .
I have run Bel Ray, Honda and Yamaha oil. I pulled my 359 apart last week and it looked no different after running the Supertech. Nice film on the lower end pretty clean up top.

I have 2 friends that work for Asplundh and that's all they use. I fix their saws and they also were extremely clean on the inside after a year of running that oil daily. It states on the jug that it is suitable for chainsaws.

I got started working for Asplundh doing line clearance and we sat 4-5 of 8 hours a day. Saw ran MAYBE 2
I never said he ran a saw for eight straight hours a day.

Not to disappoint @ny15, but I worked for asplundh for 6.5 yrs and I wouldn't base alot on what they run in there saws its the cheapest oil possible and no care about longevity.... brother everything we ran was at 50:1. I would never run my saws with any of the oil they used in their saws....alot of these oils, guys have tested here on ope don't cost alot and have much better protection....

Like I said before, I have run Bel Ray, Honda and Yamaha synthetics. I did this more as an experiment. They don't run company saws and they both run 40:1.

I dont understand why anyone would go and buy tcw3 when there is aircooled oil right beside it in the store? But Ive used just about every oil there is out there and they all make carbon, stink like hell, and reduce friction. DuMonde has the least smell of any oil Ive used
