What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Dub11]

If I have a twig fall in the yard Ill use all 5 saws I got and cut some cookies bit then again I dont heat with wood

Fogging a saw may be a good idea after using full synthetics that attract moisture from the air when placing saw into storage for some time. Mineral oils won't give similar problems though.

Quote: Since esters are usually used in very high temperature applications, high amounts of water are usually not present and hydrolysis is rarely a problem in actual use. Where the application environment may lead to hydrolysis, the ester structure can be altered to greatly improve its hydrolytic stability and additives can be selected to minimize any effects.

i will keep on using powerblend no hydrolysis in my stuff.

Lol! U can bet they have taken into account this effect and modified for it

I fire all my crap up at once once a month way easier and cheaper and of course way more fun

Same here....crank'em one to two times a month no matter what. Sound of my ported 660 and 372 always puts a smile on my face. I'm trying to get my daughter to record both of them idling together for my cell ringtone.

Nope that is what I do. That is all the farther I am going to think on the subject. Run good oil and when not planing on running for a couple of weeks I will put the can fuel in. That is a lot better care then 90%of saw users and some of them get years of service.

So stick your head in the sand?
Fuel going bad is a seperate issue from corrosion protection. Although non ethanol fuel is good for both fuel longevity and corrosion protection. Although the latter to a lesser degree.

Which is not talking about two cycle oils..

Not a bad idea and I use to do this too. Make sure you put them to the wood so they come up to normal operating temp.
I'm putting my saws away for the winter tommorow as I have enough wood for the winter and no other jobs on the horizon. I'll run a tank full of Husky canned fuel through them and then fog and drain tanks.

 

[bwalker]

Well. I don't think a few squirts of 2 stroke oil through the plug would hurt anything.

Better than nothing, but doesn't distribute oil through the motor like fogging does.

Where you from bwalker? Cold climate?

How do you fogg? Spray through carburetor?

 

[jake wells]

i never fog my saws because they are used year round. now my weedeater blower and mower gets about 1 once down the plug hole with sae 30 oil.

 

[bwalker]

Upper MI. 8" of snow on the ground and in the 20's now.
Actually greatly prefer to cut firewood in the winter but got carried away in the summer and fall this year.

 

[bwalker]

Yes.

 

[RI Chevy]

Jeesh. Snow and 20's already. I'm not complaining anymore.

I can't *b-word. It was in the fifties as recently as the 16th.
No we will have snow until April best case scenario.

And after all this, what is your oil of choice?
@bwalker

What application would it be?

My saws have not sat more then a couple weeks in the past 2 years. With the coffee business continually growing and fire being a necessary element in the roasting process they are my most used tools. So I also don't have the worry of long term storage. If I do I will make sure to ask about proper fogging and storage process.
