What oil is best? and what ratio?

[460 magnum]

Is Yamalube a good all around 2 cycle oil to use? Superior to red armor?

I'm sure it is good oil never used it before I just seen it mentioned in this thread somewhere.

Mastermind uses it so it must be good oil.

Was in the dealer the other day and he said.
"I have 4 gallons of this stuff and will never sell it, you want one"?

I know its a strange question but what color does the Yamalube turn your gas?

 

[lwn9186]

Don't know if he has given it all away, will check next time I am in there.

The original works very well, the new I havent used. From the looks of the formulation they went on the cheap side for the new formula

Glad I bought into some older Shindaiwa branded red armor when I did.

When I ran red armor this past summer into fall, I thought it was ok, but not as good as some were saying on the forum. Maybe I was running the newer version?

Not sure. I cant say anything but good things about the original. Ive been running Dolmar Synthetic lately and really like it

 

[Keith Gandy]

Maybe Ben can take a look at the old and new formula and give us an opinion

Is the Maruyama the old or new Red Armor?
