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

Its a geat oil with a track record longer than any oil mentioned on this thread.

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

Purple.

 

[bwalker]

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

I actually think they changed it three times. The original msds showed ohenol and ester base oil blended with PIB.
There is nothing that nakes red armor soecial as compared to husky xp, citgo air cooled, etc. Other than its ridiculously expensive.

I think @treemonkey uses Shaeffer

I been debating whether to try citgo sea and snow or 7000 oil. Saber left my 395 piston looking good but want to try other oils that are cheaper. If there cheaper and just as good why pay more?

Don't be penny wise and dollar foolish Mason. If it works, stick with it. They are all relatively in the same price range.

My autotune saws seem to like saber just fine too at 40:1

 

[RI Chevy]

You running 40:1?

 

[huskyboy]

That's why I just ordered the yamalube it was a reasonable price and has some great recommendations on here.

I like the quote, nothing ventured...nothing gained.

Saber is locally accessible for me to purchase. Think I ought to give it a try or send away for some motel or yamalube? Suggestions?

 

[RI Chevy]

You'll never know until you try it. Lol

Try which one though? Dats da question.

Try the Sabre first. If its close to you, buy a bottle to fit your tank size. Give it a try and see how you like it. See how your saw does on it. Many members on here have reported good results with it.
