What oil is best? and what ratio?

[junkman]

I sent my leftover for Ryan to try Brian. That Dumonde seem very responsive is what I noticed. Crisp

Ir does have good throttle response also.

Your spelling skills are very poor. My experience with mix oil is a working experience. Not a take the jug off every tank and look at it experience.

I think one of Bens previous jobs was logging also if i remember right.

Better than amsoil on a 63 degree day with a dew point of 81 and winds to the southeast ?

I dont believe it.

You make many assumptions as persons with low cognitive ability often do. Most are untrue.
Expiereance is only worth while if you have knowledge of the subject at hand. Otherwise you keep doing the same stupid stuff in repeat.

The Stihl oil up in Canada is a nice dark blue .
I didn't know the US oil was different but our labels did say Stihl Canada on them so I knew ours was bottled for us by Castrol oil .

Yes, totaly different. The bar oil is different too and your Stihl labeled bars were made by Oregon IIRC. This was circa 2003. May have changed since I lived up there.

I see the aftermath of that orange bottle and Ultra daily on equipment I work on. Ive posted pics and it isnt pretty sights

Ultra is even worse than orange bottle. And that's been my expiereance too.

Let's talk about no oil. Has anyone ran a saw without any? I can say when we were at Stihl in Virginia Beach we caused damage to several pieces of equipment and then evaluated them the next day and one was a Ms251 ready for straight gas. I can't remember the exact time it ran but it was over 10 min maybe close to 12 that it ran making cuts In a 14" log. The strato may have caused some additional cooling as they said but that's longer than I thought.

I had a Homelight trimmer years ago that was a underpowered piece of junk. I replaced it with a Stihl FS-85 and an FS-250. Anyways I was curious how long a motor would run on straight gas. Dumped the fuel and straight gassed it. It ended up running for almost a full tank at full throttle before it quit.

The logger hand me down saws i have torn down run on orange bottle ,the main bearings were coated in a black tar like stuff ,am sure it protects ok ,but looked like castor deposits almost.

Some might be due to wood dust that got by the filter and carbon that got past worn piston and rings.

Y'all are too serious about oil. This being the oil thread and all....

06 6.0 PSD... What oil? Currently using motorcraft 15/40... With archoil ar9100 friction modifier additive

Stick with Motorcraft. The guy that built my motor is an Amsoil dealer and he still uses Motorcraft. Changed mine yesterday with 5,000 miles on it. Looked like car oil. The company truck gets Rotella and at 5,000 miles it looks horrible.

I think Kendall blends Motorcraft

 

[OldJack]

Here's the front and back of Canadian Stihl bottles. We've been using it for 20 some years as it was quite an improvement over what Esso was peddling then.

 

[RI Chevy]

Must be a special cold weather type blend. Why wouldn't they send the same to USA and other countries?

 

[OldJack]

Good Question. It's not particularly thick, about a 20W weight at a guess. There could be some import duties that makes homemade oil cheaper.

 

[RI Chevy]

Could be the same old chit inside, just a different wrapper. Lol

Any oil doing its job should be kind of dirty after use. There's a lot of soot that gets into the oil. Only way to know what's in it is to have the oil analysis done. Detergent packs play a big part. Castrol enduronS was some great oil to clean a top end up to work on.
