Thats your opinion and subjective also Ben. I think you take most here for *pretty boyes like u have already implied before in another thread. Its not hard to tell whether there is more lube in the bottom or not visually.
Its not an opinion at all, Keith. You have no data and are not measuring anything. And that's not subjective on my part. It's the truth.

You can always justify another saw.

Can't we all just get along. Use K2 at 40:1. It's like rainbows and unicorns in a bottle. Nothing else will work! Not.

Have u seen anyone in the last 3 yrs since we have been debating oils with any factual evidence? I havent. Just because anyone has used an oil for a few years and says its good oil isnt gonna get it for me just because they say so. I ran an 021 for 20yrs on orange bottle Stihl and its still running with 0 issues. Ive seen opinions here no better than mine or yours that made me conclude on using an oil. My own personal use and visual overservations on residual and wear has steered me toward 1 oil that I like the best upon many motors Ive torn down and its that simple

But, it's a ope forum. We argue about oil for a $500 - $1000 saw. No one cares what oil they put in their $30,000 - $50,000 truck. Amazing.


Running Super M now....

As stated if I had only one oil to purchase and receive a lifetime supply and only could run it in everything 2 stroke I own, It would be hard pick between R50 and K2.

Use any good oil and fresh fuel 40:1 or better and the end of the day when the dust settles nobody here will have an oil related explosion regardless of what oil you used.
Ill disagree. Ive seen several oils that carbon a motor so bad in the ring lands and exhaust port that performance will start to suffer amd eventually a ring sticks and thats all she wrote. But on another note tune and load will have alot to do with that carbon also. I see many trimmers in my shop thats ran on Stihl Ultra that has a plugged screen or exhaust port because folks dont run them wide open but play around with the throttle

I said "good" oil like the ones mentioned here....i don't consider Ultra good oil[emoji6]. I wonder how much of that carbon was from only running half throttle. I know my Husky 326LS spooges like a MFer no matter what oil or ratio i use if i don't have it wide open.

I cant speak for customers but that is a large part Im sure. Like I said I ran orange bottle 20yrs with no problems but almost all running was wot
