What oil is best? and what ratio?

[KenJax Tree]

I mixed up ome Red Armor today and ran about a gallon of it through a Backpack Blower. It really made my eyes burn and it isn't cheap. Has anyone has anyone had a problem with this making their eyes burn?

Never burned my eyes but it stinks

I'm sensitive to certain petrochemical smells. I agree it stinks.

800 did that and the make up is similar.

What's that Motul 800?

Yes. Full ester that doesn't combust well in a saw.

Hmmmm.

On a really still day and in confined space for extended time I get a stinging in my nasal passages.

Mobil1 mx2t had about the least offensive smell of most i have tried ,stuff is hard to get anymore though
The saber was hard to work above on a hot day when using a 2 stroke post hole digger .

do it in a ported saw and report back.

The idea that ported saws are much harder strain on lubrication is flawed. Chainsaw engines have painfully low BMEP.

I woukdnt even consider running Red armor. The pricing is a complete joke.

13$ a quart?

Here u fellows go that like Stihl Ultra oil. Husky 455stuck ring

 

[RI Chevy]

Why would you think it was the oil that did that?
And what oil did the guy run in the saw prior to XP?
Lots of variables here that need to be answered prior to pinning blame on XP oil.

 

[jakethesnake]

Sounds like the guy switched to just stihl oil for a period and a ring seized

I also heard stihl ultra is crap. Red Armor is the craze. I'm a firm believer in Amsoil. I run the Dominator 50:1 in everything, including my race bike. Most of all, my 4-mix weed beater likes it. In my experience a 4-mix is a good judge of of character when it comes to premix. Quirky little engines, but stout.

I see Stihl oil that carbons equipment up daily. The oil performs good if the equipment is ran WOT and tuned properly. Ive seen this too often in trimmers that people dont run wot using Stihl oil. Blowers and trimmers with small spark arrestor screen is horrible to almost completely plug running Stihl Ultra in combination with low rpm

 

[RI Chevy]

Maybe he used the wrong ratio. Doesn't look like it was just oil that did that.

 

[RI Chevy]

You guys are all just Stihl haters. Lol
