I have become curious about amsoil Sabre. I have stumbled through a lot of old posts to decide if it would be worth giving a try. I just have a couple of questions about oils in general.
1. What does it mean to be "synthetic"? It seems that is the better oil in general but what about it makes it have better ability to lubricate the parts?
2. I assume the ratio of mix has been calculated on the oil's quality to lubricate properly. 100:1 would be twice as concentrated as 50:1 to have the same lubrication quality in the final mix? Is this correct?
3. I take it different oils have different abilities to burn. Thus making it a good idea to re-tune a saw if you switch oil mixes. Does the ability of the oil to lubricate relate to the oil's ability to burn? Or said another way are some of the additives added to the oil blends there just for lubrication and do not become burned? Is this the reason people say you have to rich-en up the mix for amsoil because you want to add some more gas because possibly there is less of the oil burning?
