Correct. ALL 2T works. Has anyone EVER had an oil related issue at 32:1 or even 40:1? I doubt it no matter the brand. I enjoy oil threads but it’s not important because all 2T will serve our need at the correct ratio. This testing is entertaining but will not persuade me to change my current oil brand if I’m having success with it.
Keep up the good work. I always enjoy tests. I’ve been in your shoes in the past testing difference octanes.
I doubt there have been many oil related failures at 50:1
He blended Stihl oil? Dont believe anything Ole Chief Puff of Wind has to say!!!! After 4 years of repairing OPE thats the worst oil Ive ever seen in OPE internally and thats from actual real world use and observations and not lab results. Also in this test so far a lower viscosity OPE oil looks to have out performed a racing high viscosity oil?
Original or Super?
I have a buddy, Logger - retired now, get a new 461 which stopped operating within 5 months. The Stihl shop said it was oil-related due to lack of lubrication in the crank case. He said the Stihl mechanic told him to start mixing at 40:1. Never had an issue later.
Not one failure do to the oil it's self. Now some saws with weak bottom ends tend to like more oil. But one could ask is that really an oil issue or flawed design.
He blended for both Stihl and Husqvarna. Husqvarna requested an additive package to be set at 32:1. Stihl was 40:1. Stihl is still blended in this area but not the synthetic. Viscosity is ACTUAL data not visual observations same as tech sheets.
Never smell those but R50 makes me nauseous
A professional motocross or enduro team will never use red armor....application based on viscosity. Competition saws use high viscosity oils like Klotz for a reason. It’s all application based.
Yeah I ran R50 for several years, gave up because of buildup and smell. Klotz Super has castor in it, that literally made me sick. Klotz original doesn't seem bother me.
Exactly. The type of oil used in my chainsaw, not as a trade, is very low on my priority list. The few loggers I know use the cheapest 2T oils they can find with regular ethanol gas and their saws run for years. It’s just a cheap tool to them compared to other logging equipment. Most Logging outfits I talk to rarely use a handheld saw anymore and only use a pole saw for trimming the logs on trucks.
They may want to watch Eggshooters test instead of listening to Chief Puff of Wind!!
Just kiddin around ole buddy. Tests sure are interesting here though
The lawn guys run Walmart supertech oil "not sure if it's synthetic or not" works just fine in all but the 4mix engines, which nobody around here likes to run anymore, guys didn't maintain them correctly! If maintained correctly they last a long time.
Me? Guess a ate too many beans again.[emoji1]They may want to watch Eggshooters test instead of listening to Chief Puff of Wind!!
Well in this paticular test here the actual viscosity added up to BS IMO. 800t should have far surpassed a low viscosity ope oil but didnt. Hard to explain. Maybe the racing oils dont over protect like we think in an ope application but in motocross equioment but 1 thing is sure that it didnt add up in this test
Raised the idle and final tuning, but could still tune to provide enough fuel. I could see that being a problem though. From this it looks like H1R could require 15% more fuel. I'm sure you've seen this before. View attachment 2 stroke Oil Test.pdf
