Ran some Mobil today...and I must say it smells like a snocross race lol. I mean it smells like 110 with oil.


I think the 064 was happier with KL-200 though felt just a whisker sluggish. The dolmar did not care though it actually tuned really nice for that saw actually.


Would of ran more in the 064 but I had 2 chains bur up on me strangely today. Cleaned the bar grooves and found some debris in there.
Sprocket is going to be replaced next. I hate it when nothing goes right when cutting. Now just gotta file all those burrs off haha

Why did Stihl discontinue HP Super? It was a good FD rated oil.

The 16oz VP was $6.98.

I still want to know more about that one. Just to sell.
Who makes it for VP or did they come up with their own now?

Spectrum Oil Co was bought out by Phillips 66 in 2014. http://investor.phillips66.com/inve...pecialty-Lubricants-Manufacturer/default.aspx

Here is the MSDS database of all products which they make:

The current formulation of Husqvarna XP oil shows <10% Polymerized fatty acid ester. The old formula did not have any ester in it.

Red Armor (Shindaiwa and Echo versions) is still showing no ester in the formula according to Phillips 66.

For you Aussies the Jakmax Syn looks good. Same as Makita and Poulan Pro Synthetic. 10-30% ester.

Here is what 2 gallons of VP syn at 40:1 look like in a new Stihl 4-Mix. The carb has not been adjusted from factory settings.
