OPE has a political and religion forum it's just a horse of a different color!
Or might I say " oil of a different brand"!

We need something to keep the lights on for this forum.

Just mixed up a gallon of dominator to try, it has to be the thinnest oil I’ve ever seen….noticed it doesn’t really have much of a smell either, just hot exhaust lol….haven’t ran enough to form and opinion yet…

I run red armor 40:1 and it’s my favorite so far…

I bought a qt. of red armor and I have run 2 tanks at 32:1 in a fresh 044 build the last 2 days! I think I had an Epiphany !

I really like the red armor and don’t see myself switching…I know alot of guys like the dominator so I figured I’d give it a try in my blower and trimmer first see how it does….

But as of now I have no need to switch from the red armor!!

At 32:1 mix ratio do most synthetics smoke about the same amount?

Running Red Armor it only smokes on startup. I never notice anything while cutting/idling.

Personally 40:1 red armor works good for me…I pop my exghuast off every once in awhile on my saws just to see what’s up…also rebuild some on the side seems like 40:1 coats everything good…

And it keeps everything really clean..

32:1 dominator doesn't smoke after saws warm up.

40:1 Red Armor. Super easy to mix. And red.

 

[Jusgunn3]

I was told Red Armor provides good protection at 40:1 due to is high viscosity but the other thinner oils benefit from 32:1 mix. Ok…you can start throwing the tomatoes now…

Shouldn't smoke at all once up to operating temp

Red Armor does lay down an incredible amount of oil inside the motor. I cant say why. Its not all that thick either. Its a 30w oil like most pre mix oils are.
It does very well at 40:1. I don't see a real need to run it at 32:1 although you certainly could.

Partial to blue, myself.

That’s what I thought does so good
Don’t think 32:1 really necessary
