What oil is best? and what ratio?

[T.Roller]

Nothing can be ran WFO all the time. Do you drive like that? No.

4 strokes and 2 strokes are totally different animals.

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.

Delvac 1300 in everything, trucks, motorcycles.

Wait! I am supposed to run my trimmer wide open?

I can't imagine using a trimmer at half throttle. When I am cutting it's at full throttle with lots of line out.

When I have had diesels that's what I have used for the most part, although nothing at all rong with Rotella or Delo.

@tree monkey is always telling me how well Schaeffers cleans things up. So after 3 gallons of amsoil mix, the top of the jug was fairly dirty. I decided to run 2 tanks only of schaeffers and test what he has been telling me. I'd say that looks pretty clean?

also there was some discoloration on the piston after running the amsoil. After the two tanks of schaeffers, the discoloration was gone. Sorry no pics you'll have to blame my 8yr old.

Next up... will run some klotz for a while and see what happens.

Fairly dirty on top don't bother me, if its clean its not burning.

Yet neither one can be wide open all the time.

That is false. You will not damage a saw running it wide open all the time unless your doing it under no load. They are made for wide ooen throttle

I Think he meant its impossible to run full throttle all the time. Like trimming around flowers or something you don't want to destroy, or real small limbs that just require a little blip or half throttle to take off

Ok 99.9% of the time

I apologize for stating 100% I knew I'd get called out on that

I'm saying that no one runs their equipment wide open all the time. Not that it can't do it. Do you trim around flower beds wide open. No.

 

[Cut4fun]

That is one of my favorite stouts. Also like highlands wake up dead.

Only wake up dead I have tried was this.

Actually yes I do. Just have to know the length of your string. Half throttle will kill the hell out of your flowers too

That's the one!Its Amazing

I said highland didn't I? I was wrong. Left hand makes one of the best milk stouts too

 

[bwalker]

or maybe if it's dirty on the top it's not clean burning. Schaeffers has a very low flash point. I could see where very high flash like R50 would wash things.

Flashpoint doesn't tell you anything in regards to an oils end point or fire point.
Schaeffers is a TCW3 outboard oil.

Each to their own. I use what I use and everyone else uses what they choose. It's pretty simple.

But then we couldn't have a 320 page thread about oil!

320 pages is just here, there is the same thread on AS that was longer than this one. And the search is still on for the "perfect" oil. Stay tuned...
