What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Loony661]

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.

No.
