What oil is best? and what ratio?

[mdavlee]

Original is the only one I'm going to run. Benol when the saws are burning it partly like firewood cutting get its just like that R50.

r50 runs fine in lawn boy smells good to and provides anti rust protection for the muffler.

i mixed it at 32:1 and some of mowers ran a bit more quiet thanks to the cushion of that thick oil.
but my old antique uses bronze bushing bearings.

Guess we'll have to settle for this: http://farmandsandtoys.com/

Or try original techniplate.

How about any Maxima? The shop I work @ stocks Max and I can get it at cost.

K2 and Super M worked well in my saws... 927 also did well at 40:1

Thanks for the feedback. 480+ pages would take a while to sift through!

R50.

Here's my koolaid

That looks like a large urine sample.
Does that clean R50 deposits out of the ring groove?

I am currently on the last few drops of 50:1 Makita 2 stroke oil.
I like it, very little to no perceivable smoke, no unpleasant smell if any, seems to feature flushing capabilities.
Once it's gone I'll be back to 50:1 Dolmar 2 stroke oil.

I am still mixing a tad more than 50:1, like something between 40:1 & 50:1.
With the Makita oil my saws get a slightly oily exhaust opening.

Am I using the right oil?
I have no idea, it's the best I can get short of Stihl oil.
Am I using the right amount of oil?
As long as excess oil comes out of the muffler, there must be a sufficient amount of it in the fuel.
I could be wrong with that assumption, we shall know once my saws break down.

So far I tried a hand full of different 2 stroke oils and I like the Makita oil the most!

This is why some bike oils aren't great in saws. @Wolverine I ended up cleaning it up best I could. Funny part is I knew what it was when I was grinding on the cylinder by the smell. LOL

Ya somebody posted a pic with alota buildup on tha ring/land , and was headin for trouble but I cant remember who it was now. Thats one of the 1st things I look for when tearin one down

 

[Keith Gandy]

I bet most were so rich they didn't even come close to burning.

I was fixin to say IMO if it was used in that saw at a lower ratio that would have probably never built up

So out of the Klotz products it appears the lesser rpm oils like Benol and Original are better for our application?

Kind if strange over the years we were after the highest rpm oil out there.

What's your take on The RPM ratings for Benol and Original Mike lol ?

Kind of think they burn somewhat complete. Jason loves Benol and his saws look good in it.

Super Tech has issues burning, that is almost fact

I called Klotz tech about the rpm ratings. The wouldnt budge off their rpm ratings but would only say they were very very conservative with the ratings

@Wilheim
Most guys here run about 40:1 mixture. I have never used the Makita 2 stroke oil. Probably the same as Dolmar, but I am just guessing.
I think the tune is just as important as the oil. Just be sure the your saw is tuned properly.

How about any Maxima? The shop I work @ stocks Max and I can get it at cost.

K2 if you want full synthetic is great. I never tried the super M.

Does that clean R50 deposits out of the ring groove?

Doubtful. I've never seen it do that to a piston. I don't have anything high detergent but Saber here and I'm out of pump gas and wanted to use the VP up since I dumped it into a plastic jug.

 

[jake wells]

dont think i have to worry about oil problems because of high rpms
my saws don't run over 12,5 because that is the max.

I've been running K2 for about six months now. I like it better in ope than the 927. Seems to burn cleaner.
