Which 2 cycle oil ratio???

So, my position is that so far no publicized oil testing has been good enough to pass the scientific criteria, so let's see what's out there. Guys like Richard Flagg... All eyeball stuff. But.. many people see it as valuable information. Even if Yamalube 2R, an oil favorite of mine, didn't do so well. I'm fully aware of what the market has consumed, and unfortunately I don't like the direction. I will say that I have owned many 2 strokes and a few 4 strokes and nothing has been more reliable/durable than my fs100rx 4-mix I purchased in 2005 that is ready to go to commercial service again. One valve adjustment in 2025 and that was the only one...It was very close to spec. I have no reliability or durability issues with Stihl except for one... The br800 of mine that just dropped a pushrod. Replaced under warranty. If it was to have been junked without replacement under warranty I would have bought an Echo pb-9010... Because the cam is not easily accessible on a 4-mix blower. My br800 was a gift. I think Stihl makes more refined
equipment as a whole, but that is just my opinion. I like all of the major brands. As far as the direction of future equipment that is clear. Manufacturers are already in gear with battery stuff. Pretty soon loggers will have battery backpacks.

Battery equipment makes sense for lots of people that cant or won't deal with gas equipment care and maintenance. It will not replace gas for the pro market.
You have 3 pieces of 4mix equipment and one munched itself. I woukdnt call that a great track record.
The testing hasn't been done because it doesn't matter...hint. We have oil standards to guarantee a certain level of quality and thats good enough. The 4mix has design problems, pure and simple and oil seldom solves design problems.
Yamalube 2R is a great oil. I've used it in applications with way more stress and in way more expensive engines than OPE. It also has a track record of performance in high strung applications that few oils can match. For instance it was used extensively in Yamaha KT100 karts with RPM reaching 17-18000 depending on the tracks and 20 or more HP from a air cooled motor. Its also not a high Flashpoint, high viscosity oils and is a PIB and mineral oil blend...hint.
