What oil is best? and what ratio?

An 044 with a couple thousand hours on it isn't convincing enough?

So you use the 7000?

Please do tell , I’m interested in hearing about it.

Must of had an HD2

Currently, yes. I picked up a quart from tree monkey while at his gtg.

@tree monkey and redbull have the details. It's Scott's 044.
It's hard to promote an oil that works well in a saw but says tcw3 on the bottle. Too many guys bashing the label. It's also hard to argue with experience

 

[unionvillecountryboy]

Why would the tcw3 be frowned upon? Outboards are aircooled right?

Color me convinced. I had Julian grab a gallon for me. I don't really care what the rating says. I think Scott has run saws more than I can imagine, plus taking them apart and seeing what's going on. If he says Shaefer is good stuff, I'm sold. Plus, it's pretty cheap.

I think most of them are water cooled, but I'm not a boat guy.

 

[huskyboy]

Interestingly they say it “meets and exceeds tcw3” rating.

They are. Water jackets through the heads and the tcw3 is much thinner oil for injection systems. Alota tcw3 says it can be used in premix too but the aircooled oils are much higher viscosity and shouldnt be used in tcw3 injection systems. Also in a tcw3 application the operating temps are much lower than in air cooled engines and Im sure the oils are formulated differently for each job? Just thinkin out loud fellows

I recently switched to the 7000 Schaeffers. Redbull's video on the Schaeffers convinced me to try it. That was one clean piston and cylinder. Clean + Well Lubricated = Good

 

[huskyboy]

What ratio you guys running the 7000 at?

 

[Keith Gandy]

What ratio you guys running the 7000 at?

As thin as most tcw3 oils for injection systems are it would probably be smart to mix 32to1

 

[Keith Gandy]

Isnt Scahffers 7000 tcw3? Doesnt Schaffers make a premix oil that isnt tcw3? Why in the world use their tcw3 oil in an air cooled engine when they make a synthetic premix oil made for a saw thats air cooled? Tcw3 pours out of a bottle like water

 

[Keith Gandy]

Looks like this is Schaffers air cooled oil

Sounds very enticing Keith.

Theres a reason the 9000 has more in the makeup of the oil and cost more.

 

[Agr516]

What ratio you guys running the 7000 at?

32

 

[Keith Gandy]

Oh heck! That 9000 is a tcw3 oil also!! If Scott and Redbull say it works in a saw for them I believe it

 

[RI Chevy]

Is it possible to have an oil that is suitable for both air cooled and water cooled engines? Is there a rating for that?
