How much do you mix with a gal. That's some good stuff for 4strokes. Haven't thought about it in saw or even 4 mix fuel.
I add 1 capful per gallon but since I started using Red Armor I havent needed it in my saws or yard equipment. I still use it in my truck and lawnmower

Hey that rymes.
I use it, and the Low Smoke, too. Since reading this thread, I've tried several different saw oils. I like the Husqvarna XP, and Low Smoke. I'm actually leaning to using either all the time.

Presently I'm running amzoil dominator, designed for hi revving off-road race bikes. 32-1 is my go to mix. 40yrs ago 30wt motor oil was used, old saws labeled at 16-1.

Then fancy 2 stroke oils came out,,32-1 was the norm,, recommended ratio by manufacturers.. Then EPA stepped in,40-1 then 50-1 today is the standard.. I'll stick to 32-1 thank you, finally found an oil that doesn't leave built-up deposits from running rich..
Saber supposedly can be run at 100-1.... Not by me tho

Just the opposite if u run rich IMO. U wont make carbon and wash the piston instead of burning the oil and producing carbon
