661 Oil Test 32:1 vs 40:1 vs 50:1 ?

[Deleted member 83629]

don't have a clue never used it but im sure it is good. between the farmers co-op and oreilly auto the selection is slim.

to me anymore cheap store brand oils work fine and if the only problem is a little carbon in the exhaust ports, i would use the oil to end.

From what I've read from you on this thread, and many others I'm sure, you'd be crazy to run anything but Walmart tcw3 at $12 per gallon. According to your posts, you burn about 20 gallons of oil per year. At $30 per gallon savings each, you'd save $600/year. Every 2 years you'd get a new big saw for free.
I save enough to drive 1000 miles and kill 100 ducks in manitoba every year.

it is not out of choice but necessity between cutting wood and mowing and what ever else. the only reason im looking for a cheaper oil is because of cost my income is roughly 9,000 per year i don't make a whole lot of money so i got to cut corners.
my income gets eaten alive buy fuel and oil.

hay boys, i ran 6 litres of fuel mixed at 50:1 with **** generic oil in my 372 today. all seems just fine although i am to lazy to pull the muffler. maybe in a few weeks after some hours.

A lot of those cheap 2 cycle mixes are made by only a few refiners so most are likely decent oil .

I wonder what is wrong with Super M???? It is supposed to be decent stuff.
Am trying Yamalube next, it does have a good track record it seems

Nothing. He was trying to sell the stuff that costs more.

 

[brockhaskins]

That was yesterday and today's

40:1 again today. I can tell you for sure a saw will run for a long long time at 40:1 if tuned right, And that is commercial use. I'd bet the farm that 95% of failures are from an air leak or improper tune.
