What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Keith Gandy]

Tjanks Keith for the info but next time I go to home depot I'll grab a bottle and try it I have enough oil now as it is to last me a couple years. Some one should make and sale a variety pack .

They dont have it there but only the powerblend

Just asking, as I think I know the answer, but is Echo and Shindaiwa the same company?

Lol!! U had yourself wondering didnt u?? Its the same oil but not sure about company

 

[Keith Gandy]

I think Echo owns Shindaiwa now

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. OK. Thanks.

All the same company now so no worries on the oil , it's the same .

Ok. I wonder if this Shindaiwa Red Armor has been sitting on shelf for sometime?

Any thoughts on leaded fuels? Also what about race gas? I can buy 100 octane non e at the pump. The other non-e is 87. Opposite ends of the spectrum lol. I burn the 100 in my race bike at 40:1 mixed with Amsoil Dominator. The four mix weed beater didn't like it to good. Thinking the high octane caused a cooling effect, therefore not burning all the oil, i.e. caused a lot of carbon build up. 87 mixed with Dominator at 50:1 burns clean, no issues.

@Isaac

Search for a thread done by Redbull661. Julian did extensive testing on fuel. I believe non e 87 octane fuel is a better alternative than the 100 octane.

Husqvarna caned fuel claims the fuel drops 2pts. after blending.

shindaiwa red armor came out first because of the 2/4 stroke hybrid models shindaiwa sells and it is a little cheaper priced than the equivalent.

Ok. Thanks

That's dependant on oil and mostly determined by the diluent used IMO. Oils that use lots of Stoddard solvent as a diluent no doubt provide for lower octane when mixed.
