What oil is best? and what ratio?

[porsche965]

Why do I even buy oil?

 

[RI Chevy]

Oil is over rated. And stuff
Just a suggestion. A recommendation.

Is Dolmar now part of Husqvarna group? If not why would Poulan oil and Dolmar be the same? Polaun is still Husqvarna correct?

I recall alil of what we looked up on it now. Poulan Syn., Dolmar Syn., and Baileys Woodland Pro were all the same SDS specs and blended by Spectrum Corp. In Tennessee but not sure if its still the same. Thats been several years ago

Try it at your own risk.
But I've run the saw. It has great power, and I cut oak with the bar buried at WOT cutting for 2 full tanks. I could not believe it. But it's true...

I believe you. But I'm not going to try it. I'm not willing to take a chance ruining one of my saws. Now if I had a bunch of old cheap weedeaters, I would try it in one.

Just grabbed this at my Yamaha dealer. Is it the same as what you see in the US? There are regional differences sometimes is all.
If so, this could simplify my oil stash, this in my ope and KTM/Husky 250 2T dirtbike instead of XP or Havoline for ope and Motorex for the bike.

You buy it from the Zon? Or auto parts store? Does the power output and throttle response feel same, better or worse. I'm all about outside the box things. Another reason I was drawn to the Blue Marble.

I bought it on Amazon.
I couldn't tell difference from regular oil mix or this stuff. Throttle response was the same.

And down the rabbit hole of oil insanity they go lol

 

[ammoaddict]

I see what you did there

I was hoping you would get the hint.

That is so true. Guilty as charged.

My mind is made up. It's Dominator unless I see rust in my rust testing. If I do it's back to full mineral Blue Marble where I know I'll not have rust or any other issues.

But, but, but,.....ahhhh nevermind

Don't forget this. I know a Dolmar being run on this stuff. Just a capful per straight gas in each tank. Insides look good still.

What, so no 'oil' at all? Just this additive? Bugger me, i would have been sure that was a recipe for disaster.

I can't believe nobody climbs all over your sh!t for posting that. I'll try some eventually but not in anything I care about till I see. You can rest assured if there was a certain name on that bottle it would hit the fan all up in here.

Yes sir. You gotta see it to believe it.

@SOS Ridgerider

They can climb over anything they want, I've run the saw for 2 full tanks of this straight gas and a capfull. Saw has many tanks through it.

Yup. Just an experiment. If it blows up it blows up. No big deal. [emoji1]

That is so true. I would have to see it to believe it, a couple of times to be sure in fact.

Yes sir. But I am astounded by it. I run a capful in all my stuff now as a result of your experiment. LOL

What does this stuff look like? Clear? Oily, like marvel mystery oil? More like seafoam?

Not sure if this has been posted on this thread.

This is the saw that’s being run on the conditioner only. I know Steve has ran it this way, he’s had customers run it this way, Jeff ran two tanks through it, and I’ve ran a few tanks through it. I just went down and pulled the muffler cover off, just for world peace and stuff
This has been sitting for a few weeks now, without being ran at all, and this is how it looks. More pics to follow.

 

[SOS Ridgerider]

Here’s the rest of the pics I just took. I’d say this stuff works just fine.

Dolmar smells like sour milk in the bottle.

Ok but how does it taste?

 

[RI Chevy]

Is it one cap per tank, or per gallon?

We used 1 cap from the bottle per tank om the saw. We added 1 cap then straight gas. Filled up the tank and ran it.

 

[SOS Ridgerider]

Is it one cap per tank, or per gallon?

One cap per tank of gas. Steve showed the amount in the video he posted. It’s not much, but obviously enough. Lol
These little Dolmars hold 16.2 ounces of fuel, so whatever ratio that turns out to be. I’ll keep running it like this. Steve says to run her until she blows, so that’s what we’ll do.

There must have been a difference. I ran a couple of gallons of fuel with the Woodland Pro oil through my backpack blower, and ended up giving the oil away after. It’s the only oil I’ve ever said no more of. The smell was just too much. Whenever I backed up to a wall and the exhaust bounced off and hit me it made me feel sick and dizzy.

Since then I’ve ran plenty of Dolmar oil through it, and it definitely has much less of a smell to it, and has never made me feel out of it. Well, at least no more than usual.

At the moment I’m running Dolmar in the saws and Red Armor in the blowers and trimmers. Both seem to be working great for me. I have some Echo Powerblend and a bottle of Husky XP oil, which also seem fine. And a bottle of Benol, just for the ambiance. I guess I’m what you can call an equal opportunity lubricator.

I just had a milkshake. Come at me bro.

I had a chocolate and raspberry icecream bar. Gfy

 

[Moparmyway]

I had a chicken thigh with broccoli. I hate that I’ve gotten old ! Can’t eat the volume or variety of food that I used to

Also, to get this on track, I can’t eat oily foods anymore either. It gives me them raunchy gasses & things

Start a thread about your testing. We'll lock it so that nobody else can post in it.

I for one am extremely interested in what you are doing. I could care less which oil "wins", I just like the idea of the way you are conducting the tests.

Is it the end all be all? Of course not. But it is interesting.

That is a great idea. I learned long ago just put it out there, who cares what others say, criticism is to be expected how you deal with it is what matters IMHO. That's how I always looked at it anyways, *a-holes like my self will always have hard questions and strong opinions. Egg Man you're way too sensitive to this stuff, and in turn way too aggressive at times, just go about the testing and have fun with it.


I too asked Amsoil a few questions about Dominator and the nature of certain oils being hydroscopic and more prone to corrosion. The answer I received was. "We don't discuss our base oils" I'm guessing they're getting tired of all these questions, as that was pretty much a get lost reply. That or they're watching [emoji102].

As I and others have said before ester oils are going to be more prone to corrosion by nature. This is not to say an oil shouldn't be used or what not, it's just information. I think we all would agree if you have concerns about corrosion other fine products are available.[emoji111]
