Anyone ever run this Lesco stuff ? I never heard of it. A local guy has two cases for sale pretty cheap. Then again I've got enough oil to last me 4 or 5 years....

Lesco doesn't really make anything themselves, so its probably rebranded oil.

Yeah i figured as much. Just wondering if anyone has run it with any success or if it's total garbage.

It would be cool to see a bottle.

So, the RA test mule...... Been running it on 40:1 RA mix to see if will clean itself up. Couple tanks so far. It's already cleaning up its own mess. I swapped that power head into a straight shaft twin line unit from another weed eater featherlite and I'll be using it all summer. It will have a steady 50:1 RA diet going forward. At the end there will b4 and after pictures. I'm pretty damn impressed. There is nothing but bare piston above the ring already. The side of the piston that is. Have not peeked at the crown yet. I'm thinking these oil tests will be more for you guys than myself going forward. I'm about 75% sure my oil search is about to be over. Dominator or K2 better REALLY impress me to move the needle. If all three ran the tests, and are still usable, the cleaner of the 3 will be my go to oil. Outstanding protection and superb cleaning ability. What else can we ask for in an oil.

That dang Red Armor!!

 

[Keith Gandy]

The red armor for the win phrase you've used in the past definitely comes from a place of actual usage and visual inspection on your end. None of this I heard from so in so or whatever. I see for myself why you like it. I see what you have seen.

Ive taken alota equipment apart Ive ran it in and hadnt seen anything I didnt like. Not sure why Ive started using K2

 

[Keith Gandy]

I wonder that myself. Don't sell the RA because once K2 fails by the end of the 200:1 test, you will need it.

What about that cheap Walmart oil?

BelRay 40:1
There was a great writeup with top oils and tear downs with a large RC BOAT motor. BelRay results were fantastic.

Need to get some. I'll rust test everything I test eventually.
Correction on something I said yesterday. Its Dominator that smells nearly Identical to Red Armor, not Dolmar. The dolmar smells like sour milk if you Huff it. Not that any of this means anything besides I have a screw loose.

I vote for LOOSE SCREW!!!just kiddin buddy

LMAO
Looks like Cherry Juice too

Refresh my memory fellas. Is Red Armor full synthetic or blend? I thought it was full but I can't find anything that says it and Im not going out to the garage to look at the bottle tonight. Thanks

Semi.

The older formula is better than the new formula.

 

[RI Chevy]

I learned it from Keith G. Lol
Not sure why they changed the formula but...

The older formula is better than the new formula. View attachment 239673

Is that actually true ?

 

[RI Chevy]

I believe so Ryan.

 

[RI Chevy]

It's somewhere in this thread. The MSDS sheet showed it.
Maybe Keith G will chime in and help.
I think ECHO took out the esters in the new formula.

 

[RI Chevy]

In this case. The old was better than the new. For Echo RA
