What oil is best? and what ratio?

I heard on the interwebs that Astroglide is the stuff. You can park a limo in a doghouse with Astroglide

LMFAO

OMG!!! You CAN'T run boat oil in OPE!!!!!

In all seriousness. Hard to beat a real track record no matter what any peanut gallery would say. One dem ape saw porters runs the Shaffers as well. But only 20 years or so. We still need more usage to see if its safe to use.

All boat oil all the time.
I bought 36 2 gallon mix
Tanaka when it was 3.00 for a six pack
Seems fine
Smells bad like ultra.

Uh... I've read most of the show.. Saber seems pretty clean. And later it's burning dirty?

 

[full chizel]

You guys actually pick oils for the smell ?

Lol.

No... I don’t care what it smells like but if the fumes are strong like Klotz i’m not using it.

I like the smell of Klotz! Lol

I wonder how many % of users take the time to tear down a perfectly good working chainsaw to see if it is dirty inside? Especially the commercial loggers?
Does their paychecks know if the chainsaw is dirty inside? Only if it fails. And what % is that? So much we don't know. But what is really cool is Egg Shooter's testing.

Good old Dino oil worked for years and years.
Now we have these Boutique oils. Lol

Don't forget Lucas

Have you had problems with Lucas oil?

LUCAS 2 stroke oil has been tried by a couple of members here. Insides were very dry when the jugs were pulled. Hasn't received very good ratings by several reputable members.

Which one? This has esters in it. View attachment 240300

Have you used this or the semi synthetic in saws? If so what were your thoughts on it?

Ok, I thought about trying it, so I was looking for some info. Do you know what ratios it was tried at?

I've never ran it, and I don't think I ever would from what I've seen and heard from those who have.

I think it was run at 40:1, 36:1, 32:1 and maybe even 25:1.
Just doesn't seem to oil as good as other oils out there. Hopefully Kevin chimes in...

And that was the semi-synthetic? Maybe I should try dominator instead?

Not exactly sure to be honest.

I have never used either one but I know some guys who have used semi synthetic pretty heavily in dirt bikes and never had problems.

 

[RI Chevy]

Kevin posted some photos of the saw he ran it in, and bearings were dry, and insides didn't really have a nice film on them.
Its probably 6 months or so back in this thread.

This?

Yep that's the one from what I remember. Semi synthetic "smokeless"
