What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Catman]

Smells cool in the bottle. All I got so far. Oh and thick. Took six rinses with the fuel to get the blue out of my graduated cylinder I measure with.

Yes I concur, I also always shake my container before I put it in any of my tools just in case.

Well I was afraid of this…..probably gonna have to junk her. Anyone want a toasted closed port 55? I hope I haven’t f-worded up my 372 or 395 on this stuff……

Oil looks to be performing very well.
You better throw it in the bin now and switch to whatever the internet says is the best oil this month lol

 

[Catman]

1) first rinse
2) second rinse
3) 5th rinse

Yup, I have to do a lot of swishing around to get that measuring device of mine clean of that oil!

Blue oil is good oil, even if your tryin to smoke it in a bong…..

I use my ounce of Seafoam to rinse/shake/rinse my syringe out but I doubt it would be enough for that clingy stuff

I miss the old days when guy's would run a tank of fuel in there saw and pull it down to show how good the oil is performing lol
On a more serious note I wonder what causes such bad blow-by in some saws run on some these top tier synthetic oils.
The pics sheared over the years some had shocking blow-by could be glazed cylinder? Could even be rings never seated if run on that oil from new who knows?.
That's about enough brain power I'm spending on oil for now lol that is until they release a straight zero weight engine oil I'll be all over that running it in all my vehicles just think how much hp and mileage it'll free up lol

Be careful what you wish for

They are working on 0W-10W (for better fuel mileage and emission stuffs) it's coming next they are still just trying to get an engine to last just past warranty before it throws a rod once they have that sorted it'll be released..

My new car uses 0-16

I figured screw that I’m using whatever I want

But research has revealed that there is a sensor in the oil pump and another somewhere else that will throw an error code if it senses anything else

Hooray for progress

On some of the new cars, the engines are being produced with tighter tolerances, thus the need for thinner oils.

Doesn't appear to be too far gone. Those CP's aren't common. Tear that sucker down and have a look, it's worth it!

Tolerances in engines are still on par with engines form the 60's not much has changed there.
It's a lot more involved than I'm willing to get into and above my pay grade...But things like better supported/made cranks with no flex same as cams- more efficient oil pumps, uniform machining tolerances not varying form engine to engine the list goes on..
This is just some of how they can get away with running thinner oil to meet emissions reducing parasitic losses from thicker oil.

Egg Shooter, How do we get on the PM list for the latest oil tests? Hopefully not posting a video of me shooting eggs at 1000 yards, possibly 300.

What is "blue oil"?

Husqvarna XP+??

 

[MustangMike]

My Saber oil is Blue!

 

[RI Chevy]

No good Mike. Has to be DOMINATOR...

I heard you run other people's saws with no mix oil??

 

[RI Chevy]

Yes, yes I do...No mix ratios to worry about. Just a cap full and straight gas!!!

Might want to give that air filter a little attention.

Actually you would be quite surprised how different a modern engine is clearance wise, it is all due to lubricants finally catching up to the application…..
