What oil is best? and what ratio?

[mdavlee]

yeah but no one has actually tested it. It's like saying xyz port timing #s should work the best. key word should. That don't always work out like ya think.

I know my Echo 225 wouldn't run right on H1R, Super techniplate, motul 800, and R50. Mobil, original techniplate, Hp2, and saber it ran ok. Saber was best besides Mobil and the VP 50:1 fuel

Looks like a L7h,, farmertech-huztl...

I would love to hear your feed back and thoughts after you run it a while. The smell kinda bothers me in a very close still area.

Since i went into mangement at the beginning of the year i don't burn much fuel anymore. I'll burn most of my fuel doing yard work at home now.

Idk julez...my trimmer runs waaaaay better on thinner ope oils..it's not my imagination.

 

[jake wells]

my trimmers ran fine on h1r and klotz no slobber either but i ran them hard and don't tune them rich either.

 

[jake wells]

but if i run bike oil in handhelds i run 50:1

 

[jake wells]

bike oil at 50:1 in my saws run nice.

 

[mdavlee]

661 doesn't run right at heavy ratios of those either. H1R runs slow. Super Tech makes a mess. 800s slower at 32:1. R50 doesn't run right at 32:1 (saw bogs down after multi cuts in a row). All of them are high temp and thick oils.

mobil one, orig tech, hp2, and saber all run fine at 32:1. not sure orig tech is exactly clean at 32:1. but it runs decent.


So far I've not heard any evidence or feedback to say a particular oil that runs good in the 661 won't run good in a weedeater. Providing the correct ratio is used of whatever oil.

I DO think there is evidence that a different ratios of the SAME oil should be used in different ope tools or sized engines or ported engines.

Those oils worn fine when milling in saws that aren't autotune/mtronic. The load cutting get firewood isn't enough to burn them unless you're in 60-70" wood and a cut takes a tank of fuel.

bike oil will burn in a lawn boy if the grass is half feet tall.

Plenty of load then. I've milled with all the stuff that burns dirty or just oozes out when cutting firewood. They all work but I've see the cylinder Temps hot enough to melt temp sticks at 550°

I can see that. I have boiled bar oil a lot.

Lol. Fatten up the tune to cool it down.

string trimmers are fun running bike oil with a teaspoon of nitromethane mixed in the gas tank.

Well did you try those oils at 50:1 in your echo225...how did they run? and if you did run them at 50:1 why didn't you just state that from the beginning...would have saved this back n forth.

If you didn't, then I rest my case. There is no evidence put forth so far.

Furthermore I don't see why now after 20,000 posts on these oil threads (OPE and AS) that now all of a sudden we need the "best" oil to work in all OPE. Who is going to test that? Not me!!!

Aww heck!! Cmon now!!

Nope. Several worked fine at 32-25:1. I haven't mixed less than 40:1 that I remember since I got away from ultra in 2009.

I'm good. I used it as drill bit lube. Then I used h1r til I broke the jar it was in.
