I’m honestly still super confused by this.

Don't lose sleep over it.

I tend to go by what the engine builder suggested.
Bottom line, you pay for your saw. Run what you feel is best.
I do.

It's ironic that the people that should worry about this the most don't and the people that shouldn't worry about it do...

I never could figure that part out...

Not to mention at bare minimum most of these guys are running a saw with a muffler mod, not to mention a razor sharp chain..Less heat = less oil burned.

I still think it's funny that people think you need to run a motorcycle oil at 32:1 for your chainsaw to last

These guys make up sh!t to worry about

Some of my ported m-tronic saws still puke oil at 50:1 with boutique oil when not under a heavy load...I've even seen them do it with Red Armor.

Oh..and a good amount of that time they weren't running a razor sharp chain..another one of those real world things..

Stop it Sawmikaze..quit making cents.

That’s a very good point. Loggers just run them. Arborists. Again just run em. We sit here fighting about which brand name oil.

I’ll just keep dumping some oil in my gas and running them.

Julian's tests were unbiased and as "real world" as you could get.

I was suggesting the were biased. I am suggesting they lack validity.

Tests on snowmobiles and dirt bikes do not work for data for saws and weed eaters ,put 32 to 1 in your weed eater then 50 to 1 ,and you will see what I mean when you try to tune it.
These little engines more oil loses power like the 661 test showed,if you want to run a blubbering tool run more oil than it needs.

I've never noticed that to be the case.

Meh...another know it all oil guru.

If everyone ran blue oil the world would be a better place.

How much more "real world" can one get?
Saws are made to cut wood.
I think we will agree to disagree here.

So one points out some holes that are quit obvious and suddenly he's branded a now it all. Sad state of affairs.

Real world via the feel o meter or a human activated stop watch isn't scientifically valid. And no one with any sort of critical thinking skills would think so.

You just can't help yourself can you Ben?

Keep coming back.....I swear you're getting better.

OK. SOOOO A dyno is better? More scientific?

It would only be better if it validated his opinions. Trust me here.
