My Saws are addicted to Amsoil Dominator @ 32:1.

Recently had a quart of Amsoil Dominator given to me. I have been using Amsoil Sabre @ 40:1 with 90 octane E free fuel. Okay to switch & use this quart up @ the same formula with no issues?
I think Mastermind Randy mentioned he likes this oil & he’s seen the inside of a chainsaw or two. Thanks guys,

I’ve had zero trouble with it at 40ish to 1. I’d say use with confidence

I'm almost to the end of my jug of ipone sled oil. Time to buy more, but I can't get it in the US anymore. The local carquest sells Shaeffer's. Which one is the good one, and how does it rate on the stink factor?

No smell to either one of them. Doesn’t matter which one you run, but I’d run them at 32:1

32:1 for sure, I wouldn't have it any other way!

(Which drives my brother nuts - he believes the local Stihler, who told him that too much oil is bad for his saw, and to only run Stihl Ultra at 50:1 because it's the only good oil...)

I know the feeling, until I became educated on the subject! 32:1 is all I mix now.

I can't believe this thread has almost died. I'm Still running XP+ in everything.

This thread will never die!

All I can say is, even with fuel stabilizer this stuff turns rancid after a month or so. Had a puke orange hue and smelled awful, I dumped it on the asphalt to evaporate.

Likely old and had a bunch of ethanol in it

Both the 7k and 9k are great oil. Those and Amsoil Dominator are all I run anymore.

Can't go wrong.....

Any better than the silver XP+?

I just finished my last gallon of oil and might be up for trying something new.

They’re all cleaner burning than xp+ from what I’ve seen.

Any of the three oils mentioned are great.

I've been running Saber at 40:1 in all my saws for quite some time and, nothing against the other oils, but I see no reason to change.

I believe it is right up there with the rest of them. Burns clean and lubricates well.

Stihl Ultra 61.754:1 works for me

I went from Dominator at 40:1 to 32:1 just because I'm lazy....4 ounces/gallon is pretty easy to remember.

Respectfully, it was fresh gas from a very high volume station that I've used in all my 2 and 4 stroke engines for years. Any station can get a bad batch of gas but I suspect this is not the case here.

4oz per gallon is easy to remember and measure.
