What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Keith Gandy]

Could have. Not sure. Isn't the stihl ultra fb rated? Or it used to be. That might be why also. Less detergents. Everybody says it's some dirty stuff

It is fb

I like the Saber, but it does well for me at 40:1, so I'm leaving it like that.

I saw a 880 milling on 80:1 Amsoil.

Melted the big end bearing.

 

[P.M.P.]

I don't know why people take a chance but hey I run royal purple in muh rusted 20 year old truck with a Wix filter and let it go 5000 miles
HAHA

I don't get it either. WTF? Let's just see how long the damn thing will last on a thimble full of oil?

wonder if Amsoil made good on their promise to warranty their 80 to 1 claim ? that's $1,500+ all because someone wanted to save a few pennies on oil.

I liked the r50 also. 40to1 probably would be good for general firewood cutting

after messing around and testing various 2cycle oils. I like 40 to 1 in a stock saw. There are so many scenarios that can cause a saw to run extra hot. 40 to 1 provides a nice fudge factor and is cheap insurance.

This has been the cleanest burning stuff with best throttle response of the dirt bike oils i have tried so far ,is expensive though

That is some clean stuff. No soot at all on a piston crown in 2 tanks. Mobil and klotz show after half a tank

Almost no odor also like the Mobil 1 ,only thing i did not like was no dye in the oil .

 

[mdavlee]

A lot of these have no dye. Hard to tell if it's mixed. I usually don't pump gas into a jug without oil first any way.

I just take a swig before I run it in the saw to make sure. It's a great mouth wash!

I run Amsoil Sabre with premium non-oyxgenated fuel mixed at 4oz per gallon. I usually mix 4 gallons at a time. Anyone have any problems with that?

In WHAT equipment? Air-cooled, I expect you foul plugs, clog spark screens, and have oil dripping out the muffler?

I expect Amsoil Sabre is synthetic? if so, you can probably run 50:1 at 2.6oz/ gal.
