Which 2 cycle oil ratio???

Amsoil said it would probably be "overkill"

Well, “underkill” doesn’t seem to be working real well so far, so…

Not sure about what you mean... There have been several oils that have been quite impressive.

With many of the veterans here that saw the oil testing done a few years ago and with all the recommendation since, dominator should’ve been at the top of your list.

I saw Richard Flagg's video and Dominator ran a bit dirty for him. Plus, the viscosity is a little low unless I run, say, 40:1???? I don't have anyone's experience to pull from... Dominator in a br800, that is. That being said, I will test it. I just haven't yet

I don’t know why he had those results.. I and several others have posted pictures all over this forum after using 30–40 gallons of fuel mixed with dominator. There’s no carbon at all in the exhaust flange, just a brown liquid residue that wipes off

Curious if the results would be the same in a 4 mix. I'm running it in mine but I only use a tank a year if that.

Perhaps, but... With a 4-mix engine it's not easy to look in the crankcase, or at the rings to see what's what. I'm looking at the piston crown, the sparkplug, max rpm, temp, and "runability". While a chainsaw typically works at pretty much full throttle, 4-mix machines often work at reduced throttle. Not saying always, and not saying Dominator would or would not be fantastic in a 4-mix. I look forward to the testing. I've run about ten oils so far. What I've found so far is that several oils have been impressive. But .. not Schaeffer's 7000 boat oil. Not at all. It's now a paperweight. Oh, it also stinks worse than Stihl Ultra, imo. But it has impressed in the chainsaw world.
