What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Keith Gandy]

I've been using the VP oil.

Likin it Mike?

So far. Leaves carbon pretty quick when tuned pretty crisp. I have red armor to use and may mix some up next gallon.

A saw builder told me he took a saw down had been run on red armor and it was a gooey mess inside ,just thought i would share that for long time results .

Blue oil is good oil .

May be a tuning issue. All my equipment from saws to forestry clearing saws to weedeaters and blowers all look really good ran on it

The couiple I tore down were great. Any of them not run hard and then tuned too rich make a mess when they almost start to burn.

Hey Mike, is the VP oil colorless? Like the 40:1 pre-mixed canned stuff? Looks like just regular gas. I question myself as to if there is oil in the pre-mix 40:1.

I bought a quart and after using half a bottle of h1r I bought yamalube. H1r makes a mess of a muffler. I'd be happy to send what I have left to anyone that wants it. I won't use it anymore

Plenty of lube though. Internals must be slickery. Lol

I could not get one ,just told several saws running it looked gooey inside when torn down for repairs .could be low load applications maybe ,not for sure .

Ya I talk with Jason Straton about it. 5 different saws from 5 different states that look pretty rough internally from oil he said. Mine all look good but I dont have a gallon a day through mine for a year though. I respect Jasons word though and will keep an eye on mine

Wonder if it's lucky to keep switching it up. I never run more than a quart of the same thing till I'm off to something else. I don't even take my mufflers off though
