What oil is best? and what ratio?

[rogue60]

A ton of stuff could be rehashed, Joe has a saw dyno, but testing costs money, oil, fuel, time, ect, ect. Why do all of it, then publish it here to be ridiculed in the court of public opinion? As far as 2 stroke technology goes, nothing much has changed since the 70’s really except oil. It would be interesting to see if modern oils hit the same 18:1 brick wall as far as performance was concerned. 2/3’s here probably still wouldn’t believe/accept the results. Some would jump up and down and scream “now just wait a cotton picking minute”. Sadly, they are the majority and are the ones who are embraced here, not the ones who actually wanted to document/share their findings to help other members.

No body is a victim here only by choice we all share experiences and findings putting ourselves up to the same scrutiny there is no biased.
As for 2T technology even industrial ya couldn't be more wrong! A crap tonne of advancement has been accomplished since the 70's. .. Most guys couldn't even pick up an old tank saw from the 70's let alone run one all day the lack of AV alone would have many in tears lol
And I dunno but I'm guessing a 500i or 392xp is slightly better technology than what the had in the 70's but I could be wrong?
Anyway this is going nowhere I'm off to do something productive have fun

Mfers can douche with it for all I give a damn. But people acting like dick heads makes me sorta ill.

for some reason dick heads seem to flock to oil threads. And argue about which one is best. Agree they can douche w it. I’ve had good luck with ALMOST any oil I’ve used. I shared my experience years ago. I kinda like watching boys get wound up over lube

I don't. We can disagree without being disagreeable. It takes effort, but it is possible.

This is better than the Tyson fight.

It's like 2 old women *b-wording about whose pie is the best

I can. But it seems not everyone can. I agree that you and I can disagree without being rude. However. It seems some struggle with it

I really enjoy a good slice of pie.

Threads become a page turner. Itchy asses and hatefulness over fugging oil. Who gives an actual fugg. Whatever you fellas like. Just use it.

But you can't get in a pissing contest without arguing over stupid s**t.that's why you need rubber boots to read this b.s.

Some dudes lose their minds over oil.. And I in no way contribute to that outcome.

i have said this before i dumped every oil i had except stihl ultra (because it gives me a headache) in one container and mix it with good efree gas of varying octanes @32:1 and everything runs just fine including my 4mix blower not a single plroblem

Regardless of the topic, people want to be right or at least think they are right "God exists and it's not you"

 

[rogue60]

Before the internet's guys used to dump set amount of oil in fuel/gas for their two strokes and forget about it nothing bad actually seemed to happen? go figure?..
After the invention of the internet's guy's can't sleep at night worrying about what damage oil is doing in their two strokes

I agree. Cheap oil is better than no oil. Any oil mixed 40:1 with fresh fuel, sharp chain, and sometimes a clean air filter will get you pretty far.

And jeez, can’t it just be a friendly discussion about oil? I had to read it again to make sure nobody’s dog died.

Some people just aren't capable of being friendly.
