This is what I run. I buy the 6.4 ounce bottles, and run it at 40:1 in two gallons of 88 E Free.

Quite a few guys over on SH and here are running this.

I port a saw almost every day and constantly have to run a saw. I put a couple tanks through a couple saws every day. I rarely cut timber anymore,I port full time and have for a very long time.
I see what poor oil at 50:1 does every day.
I've got most of my local customers switched to Walmart oil at 40:1 and I like what they look like inside. It's very good oil.
For 4.99 a quart I'll try changing them over to valvoline. I ran it to see how it was before telling them to switch, it's very good oil and very cheap. Bad gas and orange stihl are what kill the dead saws I see but even that is rare,saws are extremely tough.

Your talking about Walmart tcw3?

No OPE oil. Dino or full synthetic. The full is made by Citgo and the blue bottle by Warren

 

[jmssaws]

The blue bottle is great oil.
I maintain a fleet of ported saws that run on it at 40:1. Very clean and burns completely.

I decided to replace the spark plug on my stihl ms 441 rcm and figured I would show you guys the spark plug, how does it look?

Citgo typically makes good Two cycle oil.
However the only oil that I have ever seen at Walmart is TCW3 stuff.

I sold my a bike the other day to make room for the old one. This machine had 1 year of hard use on it. Ran exclusively on K2 at 32:1 save a few week ends early in the year on Klotz ST.

I'm going to Wally World in the morning and I'll try this in my trimmers. Just for the heck of it.

 

[bwalker]

Citgo air cooled is pretty good oil as well and it's like $9 bucks quart.

Ive ran it in trimmers and blowers with good results

 

[bwalker]

And I agree with JMS. Stihl orange bottle is wretched junk and expensive junk at that.
