Water isnt abrasive to rocks. The rocks being forced into contact with each other by water are abrasive .

Hey man out of curiosity what oil and ratio do you run in your saws???

I am using K2 currently at 32:1. Prior to that I ran Red Armor. Was going to buy more Red Armor but there was none to be found locally when I needed oil.
With that said there are many good oils out there. Just stuck to a low ash air cooled oil. No boat oil!

List out some of the good oils on your list?

For bike bike oils- Maxima K2, Motorex Cross Power, Yamaha 2R and Honda Hp2.
OPE oils- Red Armor, Redmax Maxpro/ Husky XP+.
These are ones I have used that I can recommend.
With that said any JASO FD certified oil will work well. And please dont use boat oil!
I would also add Amsoil Dominator as decent based on people I trust. I dislike Amsoil as a company and have little interest in trying it out.

Don't have an opinion on the company, but AMSOIL Saber (at 40:1) lubricates very well and burns clean. I use it in ALL my 2-cycle stuff.

It works well for me, so I use it. Would never claim it is the best, but it is VG.

I hear about a lot of different oils, but if this one works well for me, why switch?

As long as it's the right type of oil and your happy why bother trying other stuff?

I guess it seasoned sufficiently and I could finally use it.

Got some bottles...Makita oil is of 2016 vintage....Stihl is of 2020 I will use them @32:1

I would not use Stihl oil at 32:1, it will not burn clean and will build up carbon.

I would only use it at 50:1 in engines that are stock.
