heres some teardown photos of a saw run on synthetics
This saw is my old 066 it is used commercially (beat on) just about every day for the last year by baby bro flush cutting stumps and felling big problem trees ,,,, run on Stihl Ultra the internals were well oiled and dripping wet when I pulled it apart I didnt have the cam then and the red rag soaked it up b y the time ithought about postin tha pics,,,pretty clean I'd say
Juuuuuuuuuuuuusssssttttttttt Kidding!
Of course you realize that I am a devout synthetic oil believer and have evangelized abut how I like Redline synthetic oil in the many oil threads that have been conducted here. The only problem is that the stuff is not always available over the counter around here so I dropped in on the Stihl dealer and picked up a six pack of the 2.6 oz HP ULT SYNTHETIC ST (part# 0781 313 8002) as a intermediate substitute until I can get another gallon of Redline.
The stuff makes blue gasoline, so there is no mistaking it for anything else. In my 350 it burns ABSOLUTELY odor and smoke free at 40:1 making it a top contender to my normal choice......except for the cost. $2.55 per 2.6 oz.
Is this the norm in your area?
I did not see any larger containers of same offered.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Dirko HT sealant,,, the same thing stihl uses on the 210---- 290'390 series saws
In Burnaby B.C. there is a restaurant run by Asians (who are are oblivious to the humor, I'm sure) called Astro, thats one thing, but the next place is called K-Y Cafe. This is true, on Douglas Ave., it was there in 2002 anyways. Also there are Vietnamese restaurants around Vancouver as well, they are often called Pho, followed by more words, Pho this, Pho that. There is a restaurant on Kingsway called Pho Bich Nga, I am not making this up.

WANG'S BUFFET
Right next door to where I work. Somebody needs to explain to the Chinese that in America speak a 'wang' could be considered a slang term for part of the male anatomy.
****'S BUFFET ?

Sounds great, but to really accurately evaluate the performance similarities/differences, you'd have to test many more than two saws......now it's getting really interesting, huh?
