That is a sheet ton of oil in that motor. I dont think that much is needed in a saw. You already deleted your base gasket?

Grabbed a few bottles of this junk today cause it was cheap. Never ran it before. My guess is it won't blow anything up. It's made for husqvarna wonder if it's the same as the xp oil. I also looked and found it on the Jaso rated oil list says it's fd rated, however no indication of that on the bottle.

Might be the husqvarna ls. It is a semi synthetic with an fd rating.

Not really "junk"...it's pretty good oil.

One of these days im going to tear down this leaf blower and saw i got here running 100:1. Other than tuning different they run bout the same as before. A bit more heat, around 50-70* hotter. I am betting they have a fairly drier bottom end, but id bet that if ran with a bit of sence you could run about about oil at even 75:1. Id like to see how many hours a saw could run at about 150:1 wfo non stop unless just for refuiling bar burried before blowing up. Id bet we would get tired of refueling the dam thing. Is high lean ratios going to wear out stuff faster? Yes im sure it will, but at 50:1 with about any quality oil you are pretty safe. Especially if you know how to jet and tune its no problem. I think alot of people would learn a bunch from a torture test. I still like to run richer then 50:1 in about everything i own. Mostly because everything i own gets used to the max. My skis,quad, saws, whip, blower, genny, and outboards get tuned sharp and ran hard.
Results may very but ive seen some crazy stuff and very few failures from oil. Most of what happens is usually a issue from oil injection abd or other mechanical failures. Especially from people not setting up stuff incorrect. Pistin cyl clearance, jacking with timing, pipes, heads and carbs without the brains to set up your stuff correct to application.

the poulan syn mix is on clearance in my area it says 19.6 ounces makes 6 gallons 3.50 per bottle. next week if it is still there im going to clean it out.
and tsc has bar oil for 6.00 per gallon right now save 1.99

Here is the MSDS on the poulan https://system.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id=21857&c=1254522&h=f0b35db28728d37d7151&_xt=.pdf

I just mixed another 1 gal of it and 5 more gal's of KL200.

I keep the poulan oil around for locals to buy and to tune their stuff to now. Pretty blue too.

Been telling you it was cheap and good IMO.

I burned some red armor today 42.5 :1 works well in the saws but the weed eater it is a lot stronger smell and burns my eyes and nose. I think 50:1 would be a lot better.

 

[Cut4fun]

Been using the kl200 32:1 in my weed eaters and tillers. No burning of eyes or nose etc.
