What oil is best? and what ratio?

[mdavlee]

Not sure there actually is, that's why im asking.
possibly something with the viscosity..but like i said, i only hit spots...

I quit using it cause it choked me out milling. It didn’t burn unless you were milling to really load the saw.

Ot did seem like I had excessively wet exhausts when I used it that year I had it.

There are much better choices than H1R.

Ford or Chevy
Mack or Kenworth
Cat or Deere
Stihl or Husqvarna
Rotella or Delo

I have run H1R at 32:1 through multiple chainsaws, a few Shindawia weedwackers, couple stihl blowers, multiple TS420s, 2 Ts500I, a Stihl polesaw, a stihl garden tiller ( hers), a ms201 Mtron, and even a lil ms150. Even put a few gallons through honda powered 4cycle air compressors on our service trucks lol. There may be better oils, but I have no complaints with H1R and it's obviously working.

10+ years ago everyone ran Cat, then there was a lot of Deere. Now everyone seems to run TigerCat.

Just tossing that out there to get the thread started again.

Seriously though....theres guys on oil forums that spend forever chasing the perfect oil down and changing oil ever 3k miles. I just run what works, change it ever couple years if it needs it or not and don't worry about it lol.
We are those guys here splitting needles with 2 stroke oil.
It is kinda addictive though..

 

[RI Chevy]

True Dat. Lots of good oils out there.

And what?

And what do you recommend?

Perhaps you don't really want your question answered unless its the answer you favour. If H1R is serving you well and your happy with it keep doing what works. You seem to have used a lot of it so perhaps we should be asking you about H1R. The 1 litre I bought and used I thought was horrible for saws & OPE 2strokes. Everything I ran it in ran worse, was hard to tune & effected throttle response. It didn't combust well in saws at all. I did like the color of it though, I like red/orange oil. I think its a well made oil far from cheap but its best application is not in small low BMEP handheld 2strokes, there are far better oils suited for this. Like my answer?

If your bar is that it doesnt blow up your saw have at it.

 

[bwalker]

And what do you recommend?

It would depend on what area you live in and what's readily available. Assuming you have a Yamaha dealer Yamalube 2R is a good oil, Citgo Aircooled is good as well. Husky oil isnt bad either.

 

[Clemsonfor]

Yep I have run lots of Husky oil. Never a problem. But I heard it's a bad offender coking up your saw? Most recently I have run 2 qts of Amsoil, Dominator, I think it was. And finishing up a quart of Lucus. I do like the red oil too.

The argument of which oil is best will go on until the end of time.

Na, Everyone is entitled to there own opinion and im not looking for any specific answer. I started running H1R back when it was the best on AS....maybe 4ish years ago.? Since then, I haven't been on any forums and priorities have been elsewhere. Look up now, and now H1R sucks lol. While I was working with equipment running H1R for the last 4ish years, I missed the discussion somewhere of why H1R sucked so badly. Just was asking for a simple run down why, and I got it.

Im not one to ask about H1R. I have run quite a bit of it, but I dont pull mufflers and such to observe just the oil mix. Maybe I should.... I will say I have noticed myself that it does tune a bit funky...it needs considerably more on the screws. After the initial tune though, I haven't had any tuneability issues.

Yep, I like your answer and all others too.
