What oil is best? and what ratio?

[paragonbuilder]

I'd love to, but have a friend coming today to buy 2 cord. Put me off from yesterday because it's supposed to warm up to 15 degrees today. Have fun tho!

What ^^^ he said plus I've heard that AT doesn't like the beltway hr1

H1r forms buildup like Supertechniplate or like Benol

That's why I run an oil cocktail! Lol

I'd suggest keeping a very close eye on it. This is about a year on R50, 40/1 and proper tune. Mill saw (394)has very different results.

That's from R50? I seen Super Tec do that but not R50. That's awful looking.

Yes, Klotz R50 @ 40/1. It's a Jonsered 2150.


You can see the solder marks from squish checks.

That saws looks to be getting pretty warm?

No ones commented on this 2r? Thoughts?

Looked good to me. Not sure how long it was run or how many tanks, but looked good.

I have the pleasure of being the owner of that 261, which is hopefully wrapping up it's stay at the tree monkey's place. I've owned it about a year. I'd say it's got about 2 dozen tanks under it's belt. Totally stock. Well, until now...

That 261s gonna kick arse now! LOL

Not warm enough to burn the R50. lol It's a firewood getter. Decent tune, then wicked up for gtg's, but only for a few cuts at a time. Never had any transfer issues. Can't find any pics of the old dished piston. I can find it if you're curious. Has the flat top now.

I can't wait! It was already one of my absolute favorites.

Stihl is basically base oil. Sure is $$$$ for basically no additives

It has additives. Its formulated like oils from 25 years ago.

Husqvarna XP , PIB and Ester and made by Phillips66 also.

My favorite factory oil and incidently the original Red Armour was formulated like this.

Wonder what the less than 5% they add in is? Whatever solvent they r using doesnt clean worth a darn

Poulan Pro Syn is now sporting the FD certification.

Calcium sulfanate if I had to guess. And the solvent in two cycle oil isnt ment to clean. Its a dilluent.

Ben I was noticing on some of these formulas Phenol being used and is also used in paint thinner. Surely that cleans?

Where do you guys buy your oils at, online or at a local shop? The local shops around me only have the oil for the brand of saw they sell. So unless I go to a ATV / dirt bike shop which are just a couple I'm stuck with stihl or Husqvarna brand oil.
