What oil is best? and what ratio?

[CR888]

Sometimes you pay for what you get and other times you pay for a lot or marketing and fluff.

That is kinda what I was implying, many choose the 'highest rated' synthetic oil for the cheapest price but often they are buying spin and tales written on the bottle. Quality synthetics are expensive and price is usually a better indicator of a bottles contents rather than 'meets xx rating' or 'exceeds xx ratings' or whatever. It seems honesty and truth play little role in an oil blenders packaging. Oh yes, welcome back Ben!

The terms "meets and "exceeds" raise flags for me.
There are plenty of high priced oils that will perform rather poorly in a saw.
Which is why it's never a bad thing to run an actual FD or EGD certified oil which is ment for OPE.

Welcome back Ben ,30 days in solitary must have been rough .

Not really, been busy with other stuff anyways.

I use what the gospel of Mastermind says, Yamalube 2R at 32:1 in my saws...

Excellent oil and my personal favorite.
I've been running klotz benol the last two months and like it very well,smells like my old dirt bike racing days. Love the smell and the protection.

40:1 with klotz is overkill,I'm going to try it at 50:1 for a couple gallons and see how it does. 40:1 everything is slopping in oil

I really believe in a saw 32:1 is to much oil,maybe with some oils it's fine but my oil it's way to much.

32 to 1 works good with saber ,was a little leaner /crisper response than with 40 to 1 saber

I tried 32:1 and lost some snap and oil was running out the muffler. Definitely gained power at 40:1

You fellas have got me switched to 40 1 I'm assuming it's all cool to run in a ported saw as well it's been on 32.1 I always ran bout 50 1 prolly more like 45.1

I run super technoplate but I when I bought oil the last time they were out of it so I grabbed a quart of klotz benol and like it as well as the other. Both mix great and are red but the benol has a much more glorious klotz smell. I run both at 40:1

I have ran lots of R50 and liked it.

 

[stihl saws]

I've ran 40:1 for years with various oils with good results. I always thought 50:1 was a little to lean for my taste.

 

[jakethesnake]

Well what the necks the diffrence r50 super benol I've saw klotz just never bought any If you like the benol why go back to super same with r 50
