What oil is best? and what ratio?

[sawmikaze]

... and pretty much any pro saw if you take care of it lol. All the other chit comes down to opinion and personal preference.

There's a pack of pussy willows about chainsaw brands on here..taint never gonna go away.

Another what?

 

[huskyboy]

Another saw that will cut wood. A miracle. Lol

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.

Are they still having problems with the 572? Have they tried the 462?

So what oil you boys running this month?

 

[jakethesnake]

My stuff is put up except for a couple for the spring summer. I’m still running the low smoke husqvarna oil I got cheap a while back.

Started out with echo echo echo....

Ended up here cuz I searched for supertech cuz a land scape company owner buddy who lets me use his lift swears by it. @huskihl says GTG so I got some, also went from 40:1 to 32:1.

but then I got to reading this thread and always wanted to try something that “smells good” so I ordered some benol to try next.

Husqvarna XP+ is my flavor of the month.

 

[cus_deluxe]

still rockin saber, 42:1 or so. just the way it works our for my gas cans and oil containers. havent used anything else for 15 years, other than the occasional random red armor just to check it out, and a case of mobil 2t a few years ago. lol.

the full synthetic air cooled supertec oil seems OK. Tested better than quite a few other oils in Steve’s tests

 

[davidwyby]

I looked for those tests a bit...anyone know offhand where they are?

I'm using 7000@32-1 mill 40-1 in the rest.
Both run fine in everything. On my third quart soon. Will need more.

Tested good in my tools but never tried it in the mill. Mixes well with all fuels so far.

Anyone tested it with nitro or methanol?

Last time a member here hooked up me and Randall.
Bet Randall hardly used any mix oil. He's a PSP kinda guy now
