Oh goody, yet another "my mix ratio is best" thread.
Back, when 50:1 synthetic mix oil was introduced, I switched all my 2-strokes from mosquito-fogging 16:1 to the synthetic at 50:1.
All of a sudden, I could see the sun again. All told, I ran a Poulan 3400, with its unplated aluminum bore on the stuff for over 25 years. Many hundreds of hours. Worked the snot out of it.
Now it's a shelf-queen, and the cylinder bore looks just fine. If only I could find an oil pump diaphragm!
Same story with other engines. Zero lube problems yet, even once when I grabbed a fuel jug with no oil. Caught it just in time.
Extra oil = more atmospheric schmutz. No thanks.

Geez, you noobs geniuses never learn. I have to post this photo on AS for the second time today!
The answer to all your oil problems. Use as much or as little as you want in any saw. Tastes great on pancakes as well.

Scallwag, shes alil Rich but just open the fuel cap and turn the corkscrew pigtail floatin in there and she will lean alil and go from squeal to scream. If it fails to adjust to scream u may have to trim the h limit tab off the tail!!!!

My fuel mix is 32:1 using old engine oil outta' my truck. Works well as bar oil, also.
Used engine oil has many uses.
Deck sealer for the sun deck.
Spray it on my gravel drive to keep the dust down
Fire starter for the wood stove and burning wet leaves in the fall.
Fishing reel lube.
Pour it by the gallon around the house to kill ants and spiders..works well in keeping mosquitoes at bay in my neighbor's yard,,
spot spray the for weeds
Many many uses in that used engine oil.
I pour any left over in the tank of my car to increase the gas mileage. Works great!!

I like raised compression with 87 octane and mineral spirits mixed at 8:1.......sometimes I substitute acetone for the mineral sprits

No good deed goes unpunished
If you have any wet or swampy areas or ponds that have mosquito problems you can pour enough used oil in to cause a sheen all the way across the water, smothers the mosquito larvae and disrupts the breeding cycle causing collapse of the population.

Yes, its the new "fuel saving" formula.

Use 0.80 gallons to a 2.6oz bottle to get 40:1. Pass on the bacon premix. You'll eventually have to send it to a saw surgeon, like Mastermind, for "open port" surgery. My 660 was recently admitted.
