You can always justify another saw.

<-------- we should all put the octane, oil and ratio we use under our avatar. You know, so anyone that is wondering can know at a glance our mix preferences.
Great idea, but nobody would have time to post anything helpful. We'd all be busy changing avatars, hourly.:eyepop:

Are they rated dual for injector or premix ? I tried maxima 927 in my kids lt80 it blew up twice before i figured out why ,the 927 was too thick being a premix very little was getting through the injection pump ,i got maxima's injector oil and it was fine after that .
I assume it's either. It's very thin and my saws run fantastic on either. Valvoline has no smell and a dark green color mixed.

You run E10 Jason?

I prefer Non E but if I'm going through it quickly like a couple gallons in a couple of weeks. I seem to not mind it.

If it is going to be more than a couple weeks non E it is.

This 2r iS still one of those old reliable oils, decent price smells a better than HP2 and tunes pretty good.

The other thing many people don't realised is that pipelines will send diesel fuel and gasoline back to back. Pump has steadily went down in quality over the years. It use to be that Amoco premium was the best stuff but anymore I thing all pump gas is the same level of crap.
I run e free in all my small engines and don't worry about brand too much. Although I prefer Holiday over Citgo because I don't care for commies. Holiday fuel for our area is refined in the Twin Cities by those evil Koch brothers.
Just got back from that refinery, I was there for about 2 weeks. They make gas,diesel, and jet fuel
