What oil is best? and what ratio?

[7sleeper]

...
For the first couple gallons I ran I was cleaning lots of spark arrestors. The dominator cleaned out
all the crust left from the stihl ultra....

That sounds more like problems with carb settings or not running wot as should be done regularly or adding useless amounts of more oil than recomended by the manufacturer.

I do run the equipment a lil fat. But I trim WFO. Hate the lean bog so even idle circuits are fat.
Mix is about 44-1.

Have you noticed an increase in power? Also burns very clean imho..

Definitely burns cleaner. Haven't noticed a power increase. My ope does seem happy to burn it though.

diesel is either red or yellow here
gas is brownish yellow
purple diesel? first time i ever heard of it.

I haven't seen purple diesel either. Hmmm

Think our biodiesel that my employer uses is sum special ruutin tootin 2 ball compound stuff.

Our biodiesel here is dark in color, like dark brown. I call it liquid gold. Lol

To me, diesel has a faint/transparent yellow with hints of turquoise in the right light. Off-road diesel or #2 heating oil is dyed red. Bio-diesel was a darker yellow and less transparent... it emitted a deep=fryer smell when I ran it.

Yup. [emoji106]

Maybe color blind or challenged.

Its not funny my uncle is that way. He can see colors but not accurately.

Oh trust me... I'm very challenged!

And not just vision either.

Might be the single malt.
Then again that might be what let's me keep it together.

Lol

no biodiesel here
red is off road
brown is low sulfer road diesel
yellow is ultra low sulfer diesel
kerosene is clear

I'm a few gallons deep and nothing has seized so I like it. Only reason I bought it was the name of the town it's from.
Smackover,Arkansas. Lol

 

[RI Chevy]

[RI Chevy]

That is surprising that oil is ethanol friendly @jmssaws A lot of the oil I buy in my podunk town says no bueno for ethanol fuel. But thankfully most of the fuel stations here don't have ethanol blended fuel but I'm sure a lot of the country has to deal with the ethanol.

I mostly run 91 or 93 efree since there's a vp racing fuels station not far away but that is the only oil I've noticed that says that.
I'm beating the *s-word out of some saws that are tuned on the edge and it's worked so far @32:1
