What oil is best? and what ratio?

[sawmikaze]

No...not another Boot Oil Thread.

I put obenaufs on my last pair of super rain forests, I'm a big fan of it now.

I’ve heard it’s good stuff.

I run Mink Oil on my boots. I like the smell and doesn't leave spooge on my laces.

Same here. I also use mink oil on my leather rifle slings and pistol holsters.

I did too until I bought obenaufs.

You don't take your laces out when you put it on your boots ?

I actually put some obenaufs on a rag and drug my laces through it to get a good coat on them, they don't fray as easy.

Think I’ll give Obenaufs a try. Obenaufs on the left boot and mink oil on the right. I like testing products. I have two pair of steel toe boots and one pair of hunting boots that needs cleaning. I’ll test both oil products on all three pair. I’ll update with my results.

How did this thread go from 2stroke oil to snoseal

 

[MustangMike]

Yea, like, I mean, we always stay on topic … RIGHT!!!

Looking forward to the results of the boot testing, although now adays I mostly rely on gore tex or equivalent.

You gotsta oil that leather. Keeps it from kraken

 

[MustangMike]

Most of my boots, the outers are no longer full leather, just pieces here + there and they seem to hold up for a long time.

Some have toe and heel protectors made of other materials that seem to really help.

Local loggers have switched to red armor echo oil 40:1. They were running mostly 461 and switched to 572xp about a year ago. Out of 9 new 572's 2 of them shattered crank bearings not long into operation. Dealer fixed the 2 saws. They started using red armor and really like it. He told me not to use xp oil. Also told me the 572 are lasting about a year under heavy use. Said stihl would last twice as long but he likes that the 572 doesnt beat him up as bad.

The difference for a pwc motor vs a outboard is the variation in rpm. Steady rpm low or midish will sometimes cause ash bridged plug gaps. On a pwc they are never at nteady speeds and usuaally at much higher loads, piston speeds and rpms. Dont know too many 9000+ rpm outboards.

Still #3 in lean ratio testing in an air cooled motor

Catch me up here. What’s number one and two.

I’m running Kawasaki at the moment. Not sure if it’s good or not. Fd rated. ????

Kawasaki K-Tech is good oil. It's exactly the same thing as Citgo Air Cooled.

 

[huskyboy]

K tech is ok, I’ve ran 10 or 15 gallons gas worth of it. Not much but enough to get an idea of how good it is.

Heavy Duty lp is what would be compared to mink oil..

Too many variables here.
