What oil is best? and what ratio?

[mdavlee]

Fancy measuring cups. 3 glugs to the gallon of gas from a gallon jug of klotz original has never let me down yet[emoji23][emoji23]

I mixed up a batch of klotz and it was red coming out of the bottle, but the mix was just a little darker than straight gas and it was not red.

I do the same Matt. I always put a little gas in the oil bottle, swoosh it around and pour it back out. Lol

The gas pump could also vary a little bit. How much? I don’t know and it doesn’t really matter. Sometimes when you pull the trigger a little residual comes out left over in the hose before the pump starts pushing gas out. I just try to stop it once it gets to 1.990 range or so when I’m making 2 gallons of 40:1. Not worth overthinking it.

I waited an hour to get the number I got. I don't think the bottle I took a picture of ever had enough in it to make 2.6 oz.

I have rinsed out the bottles as well with fuel to get the last bit of oil out, but that only works when you know you have started with the correct amount of oil in the container. After gas has been introduced there is no way of knowing the quantity of oil you put in.

Another reason to buy it by the gallon. Just dump it into a quart jug with a sight line

 

[RI Chevy]

YES

From experience on some of the gas cans I’ve used there sight lines are liars. For example a gallon filled by the pump meter would be lower than the gallon mark on the can by a significant amount. So either the pump was off or the can was off lol.

I've had a pump cheat me big time filling a car/

There could be: a hydrometer type device and some chemical analysis info on the gas and oil used.

Real oil bottles are clear lol.

Better yet - dump from the gallon into a ratio mixing cup, then add to the can and rinse with gas, to be sure you got it all.

+1 on this one. This what I do. I even have that very mixing cup.

32:1 solve all the problems.

Computer controlled saws often don't like 32:1. Saber at 40:1 seems to work very well (and lube just great) in everything.

 

[Nutball]

Has anyone used this? I wonder if it blends with gas?


It might be their only 10, 10, 10 rated oil.

I mixed up some super techniplate and it did not turn the gas red. I was afraid to use it but I was certain I put the oil in it.

STP isn't a very dark red, so I wouldn't expect as much change as dark blue oil.

You ever try the 32:1 in your mtronic Mike?
Mine does well on it.

Does the cap screw down tight @SOS Ridgerider

If so I’ll just buy by the gallon and take that with me to the pump. My ratio right cup doesn’t have a lid
That fastens
