What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Partner]

Chainsaws too - stratified was a major step forward. Now look at the Stihl MS 462 - most if the builders would agree, that although gains can be made with these, from the factory they are already pretty “hot” and much different than the saws of 10 years ago.

As the power increases, the heat increases

I see what you did there - and you’re not wrong!

I received a free H136 with a Chinese engine and unknown oil in the fuel

 

[Joe Kidd]

Rice oil will do that.

Too much oil and the engine is still seized or maybe someone forgot last time You may be right because it hardens from sitting for a long time like vegetable oil on the chain guide

Damn…that’s nasty. I think it needs some antibiotics.

I'm still using my "special blend" mix oil with good results. Oil brand and mix ratio will NEVER have a consensus. Oh, by the way, I drive a GMC.

I forgot to put oil in the fuel for my favourite little saw but it didn't seem to bother it lol

The oil won't hurt it, but the gasoline may

I use Lucas gun oil. Is it gonna blow up?

 

[Joe Kidd]

Soon, hangfire.

Yes, switch to Amsoil

This is a good oil if you could get it at a good price. I burned through 5 quarts of this whenever I got it for $2 each and I can buy it full price here for about $10 a quart. Clean burning, hardly any smell or smoke.

Citgo and Mystic both market really good yet cheap Air cooled two cycle oils also.

Last I knew Citgo made all of Mercury/Quicksilver's lubricants.

I honestly don't know because I've never looked into it.

is there a 2-stroke oil that would do a really good job of cleaning carbon from vavles and pistons in a 4-stroke engine? at any mix ratio maybe 100:1 or leaner?

I’ve used it. It used to have the FD logo on back

My old timer neighbor swears by Penzoil tcw rated @1oz per gallon in all his 4T's kept 'em healthy.

You would probably have a better chance of cleaning it using Redline SI-1 then using a 2-stroke oil. Chevron Techron, Gumout Regane or any other product using polyetheramines do a better job of cleaning out the combustion chamber.

If you do use a 2-stroke oil I would recommend something like a TCW3 ashless because you don't want the oil leaving deposits that you're trying to get rid of.
