Ya I see that now. Heck that oil I posted is $$/

 

[Keith Gandy]

You guys wanna run boat oil go right ahead. You must have a leg up on Stihl in Husky in regards to oil type reccomendations.

I wouldn't use boat oil but the manufacturers say 50:1 too.

32:1 air cooled oil only in ported rigs!!

FB is good. I have no experience with the Shaffer's oil that treemonkey uses but I'd say this.......anyone who strips down as many saws as he does and talks/asks what oils the operators are using whether commercial or homeowner makes a good mental database as to what works well and what does not. I'm sure if it was terrible he would not use it in his own saws nor sell it to a paying customer. Some things are best answered by first hand experience rather than reading spec sheet advertising brochures.

No bad intents toward Treemonkey, but the path to hell is covered with good intentions.
Would you use piston engine aviation oil in your truck. Why not? What is the advantage to using marine oil in a aircooled motor?

funny i got a air cooled engine in the garage that calls for outboard oil.

just a few years ago jonsered oil was rated tc-w3, printed on the bottle.

 

[Cut4fun]

In the 1990's and earlier many did. Some still do now, like lawnboy mowers and wajax pumps. However chainsaws these are not and neither husky nor stihl has reccomended boat for the last 15 years at the least.
Many oems speced tcw3 oils in the 1990's until it was discovered the performance sucked in high stress applications.

But it isn't now. Why do you figure that is?

 

[tree monkey]

they paid to change the rating
