Have we figured out what oil I need yet?

Stuff that doesn't make a saw lock up is a plus....what oil you running when it is that cold down there.

Benol should separate right?

Ive never noticed if it separated or I never had any problems if it did.

I've been running this stuff for a few months and really like how it burns 20161210_093014.jpg 20161210_092958.jpg

Well, my 272xp has a broken trigger latch. While I have da tank off I'm gonna strip it down n pop da jug to hogout da intake,exhaust n advance timing.. Been running dominator for bout 9 months now if I remember rite.
272 has sat in shop-Garage, mix in it-unfogged.....crash test dummy..
Will snap a pic of innards and post it.
If crank or bearings ain't rite, it goes to me buddy to split it, then we would have in-depth pics post mortium.
Stay tuned for the next episode of saws of our lives..:SimpHomer:

Same reason I never tried. Said 0 rust inhibitors
Most air cooled oils don't have dedicated rust inhibitors. The calcium and magnesium based detergents can and do neutralize some combustion generated acids, which helps prevent corrosion, but that's not their primary job.
