Why mix oils and not just use one or the other?

I think the 800 by itself isn't a great choice for a saw , I don't think it burns well by itself at 40:1 like the Saber does .
I just want to use it up and maybe this cocktail is good , maybe not....hell I don't know ! hahahaha !!

I run this and this only i usually swing by wally world once a month to get a case of it.
mix this 8oz bottle to two gallons of 90 octane ethanol free. Has a nice blue color too it does smoke in equipment when they are cold but after they warm up the smoke is gone. Can't beat the price either 1.23 per bottle, This is air cooled oil not tcw3

I believe that's the tcw3 stuff. Keith can confirm.

If you look at the bottle in his post it says it right on it.

Shell know a bit about oil, been blending 2T oils for decades. They have about five regular 2T oils with a few more specialty ones like caster bean and ones to mix with certain race fuels. Here is a pic of three of them..little bottles are for air cooled OPE, then Advance sx (mineral), then advance vsx (semi synth) with advance Ultra missing (full synth) that comes in a black bottle. Graeme Bell likes the full synth Advance Ultra for performance 2T bikes but in OPE I clearly prefer the mineral SX, then the little bottle, followed by the VSX with the Ultra full synthetic last. Almost in the reverse order of price lol.1469417871754.jpg

What works best in your 562XP so far?
I have no idea man as I have only ran kl200 original Klotz. From what Im seeing is 1 oil will combust different in autotune vs mtronics vs carb saws from another oil. It depends on loads IMO but Redbull is the one thats went the extra mile on oil testing. What may work in 1 saw may act differently in another and I say that because Redbulls 661 burn kl200 differently than my 562xp does but then again not enough run time on my end to give an opinion. Any FD rated air cooled oil should suffice though

supertech says high performance so im sure it will work fine in either auto tune or m tronic saws.

I have no idea Jake as I have only used silver bottle full synthetic supertech and liked it in ope. It looks from the MSDS to be Citgo distributed. Ill continue to use kl200 in my saws as I have seen no need to change . Seems my new 562xp autotune is rich and alil wet at 40to1 with kl200 compared to my regular carb saws but more time will tell

I recently seen some one post that the Australian manual for the 562 says to run 33:1
I thought it was kind of interesting .

Hadn't seen that but I didn't read the manual either!! Lol!!
i have confirmed that according to the husqvarna australia site under the 555,560,562 manual.
33:1 when using a jaso fb oil and 50:1 when using a jaso fd oil.
