What oil is best? and what ratio?

[bwalker]

Still rape IMO.

 

[jake wells]

oh and the 5 gallon pail is 294.80 direct thats only 1.17 per gallon of mix if mixed at 50:1

 

[jake wells]

stihl orange in the 1 gallon jug is 29.99 i might just use that haha same price as that crap lucas.

Ya and shipping on 4 /1 gal. Jugs will be outrageous

 

[jake wells]

stihl orange bottle has to be better than supertech outboard oil.
i have seen carbon with it but no stuck rings or any major problems with it.

 

[Keith Gandy]

One of my local dealers can has it for $70 or 79 a gal. I can't remember for sure. I think it figured out to be 61 cents a gal.

Mixed at 32to1 , 8.5% sales tax and 79$ , will mix 32 gal at $2.67 per gal

 

[Keith Gandy]

Still isnt bad compared to Trufuel or VP SEF @ 19.99 per gal + tax locally

I just run a few gallons just to "clean " about every 10 gallons of dolmar synthetic. Which I think burns just as clean. Lol

It didn't appear to clean burning in the pics your posted awhile back. Looked like a oily mess.

The primary reason i like red armor is because of the dye. I have ran just whatever the gas station on the way to the woods had on hand. No failures. Is red armor more expensive?.... Sure it is. Saw related expenses are minimal on our books. I would rather run what a saw builder prefers. At roughly 5 gallons per day through a felling saw, i feel that it must be decent oil. Recently worked a deal with a local stihl dealer on b&c oil, $10 a gallon for platinum. More expensive than super tech? Yeah it is, but chains don't stretch as fast and bars take longer to develop bur's... It's all in the application. Any of you polisher's want to loan me a 90cc saw for a week?.....

not sure if my old saws could handle it any more a few of them got retired from wood cutting in the late 90's

i burn 30-35 gallons of mix per month but that is mostly in my line of landscaping work my saw might get 4-5 gallons burned through it per year.

Some people say lubricating good others say oily mess. For someone who doesn't know any better it is really hard to find what I guy should go by from all the different statements.

 

[CoreyB]

So this is an oily mess? I thought if it wasn't burning there was supposed to be wash patterns and clean areas. Not a flat even layer like in the photo.

 

[jake wells]

clean so clean
