What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Benjo]

The EPA really cracked down on benzene in gasoline so in reality pump gas has little benzene in it these days.
Avgas is of any sort stores very well. As in it one produce varnish even after several years.

Sure does, I offered to fix up a saw for someone (Husqvarna 50), had been sitting for at least 5 years since their grandfather died. Dumped the full fuel tank expecting to gag, but it was 100LL. Put the fuel back in and she started up on a few pulls, ran the whole tank with no issues. They ended up giving me the saw, and I gave it to a friend who's still using it.

Project Farm posted a gasohol vs. straight gas test recently. Quick results were a 4% longer run time with straight gas on a 4 cycle lawn mower. This guy's tests are probably as good as you'll get outside of an oil company or university lab.

I think that's the one I brought up a few weeks ago. Didn't it have no claims at all on the bottle about what it "met or eceeded"?

I saw that video. That guy does some cool real world application tests and does many things thoroughly. Some tests are downright silly though, I'm sure it gets views from lots of less technical people though. I have watched a lot of his videos and like his unbiased opinions on things he tests simetimes.

This looks interesting, only available in the lower 48 states.
Bar oil has pouring point to -30°C.

Mix oil to -45°C and exceeds JASO FD standard.

Says it's Bio based. Bio-degradable.
Maybe made from recycled oils?

I was thinking soy or something but I am no oil expert or know if that's even possible as far as it's limitations and characteristics.

I just looked it up. I see its bar oil I was thinking they made a two stroke oil too. This is probably just like veggie or peanut or some other oil based.

Now at 61 the older I get the more I see this product being helpful for my own kin.
After 45 years making a living with a saw it was only about 10 years ago when I started being a believer in the benefits of running canola bar oil. Now here's a bio mix oil product to make the saw run even cleaner.
Times are a changing.

What makes a saw run dirty emmissions wise isnt the oil. It's the over lap in transfer and exhasut port timing that causes high amounts of unburnt HC in the exhaust. IE it's the fuel passing through the engine unburnt in the scavenging process.
