Is woodland pro mix oils any good.
Have you tried Motul 800 Road Racing?? The bike shop was out of stock on the Off Road yesterday so i bought the Road Racing and used it all day and not that anything will grenade i'm just wondering if its as good as the Off Road for saws.
No I have not.
For the most part it's the exact same oil, consider them interchangeable. I believe the Road race oil has a slightly higher flash point, and is slightly more viscous, so it may smoke a little more, but I highly doubt you'll notice any difference.
I've noticed that the stihl ultra has a cleaning ability for older used engines. I'm curious if the dirt bike oils also have this ability?
I reckon it'd actually be better as a road race GP engine spends a hell of a lot more time at WOT/peak revs than an MXer or Enduro bike engine does.
As Andre said it's slightly heavier than the OR blend and recommended to be mixed @ 25-30:1 or thereabouts (don't have a spec sheet on the lappy)
Fish asked a long time ago, and I have never noticed anyone point out a specific case, but has anyone ever had a documented "oil related" failure other than straight gassed or other extreme lean (carburetor, intake, impulse, or seal failure)?
Now that I've got that off my chest, I am using Amsoil Sabre and about 50:1 only because I like the fragrance when the saws are running.
I had run perhaps 100 gallons of mix through my old Jonsered 621 using mostly TSC branded petroleum based oil (the old small black bottles), saw ran for 26 years before the PTO side bearing finally gave out, piston and cylinder was just fine until the ball bearings try to get through.

Put it this way, some of the big Stihl dealers in logging areas here have observed a lot more wear on 660/880 saws when running the recommended 50:1 over saws running 25-32:1.
Husqvarna still recommend 25-30:1 for the 3120 here too.

AnyShine: You got any opinion about *if* the oils viscosity being different
that a person could (or a saw carb rather ) would show any difference
in the atomization of the fuel mix?
I'm thinking would be subtle like like using winter blend gasoline
in summer blend ambient temperatures.
my contribution to todays oil thread clusterflick
FWIW Spectrum (used to, this may have changed in the last few years) blend US Echo, Shinny, Dolmar and Husky oils and Omni blended Stihl (to a Castrol/Stihl specification)
Stihl also imported some Castrol/Stihl oil from Europe at times.
I'm going to try some maxima 927 next. I'm out of belray h1r and I wanted to try something new.
The Shinny "Red Armor" smells just like the Poulan Synthetic did (a little like Ultra). I have searched and searched for that smell since I can't get the Poulan Synthetic. I have no idea if the Red Armor is a good oil, but it smells right.....and that is what is really important:msp_razz:
Actually....The Stihl Dealer was the opposite way of where I was headed, and the Husky-Echo dealer was out of Powerblend, so I bought Red Armor.......It really does smell like the Poulan/Ultra and it is a pretty Red.:msp_thumbup: Is it burning ester base that gives some syns that smell? It claims to be the AutoRX of 2 cycle oils for it's cleaning capability:dunno:
