I was wondering if anyone knows if you could use Klotz engine oil in a chainsaw. I use it it my sleds and have a bunch left over. i tried some in one of our weed wackers and it seems to scream.

that's what I run in my saw's
It's one of the best 2-stroke lubricants on the market, made of synthetic esters. The only reason I'm not still using is because it didn't burn quite as clean as I wanted. On the other hand, I was running it a 32:1 too. I'm now using Maxima K2. If you've got some one hand, by all means, use it!

Me too, it's good for gas that has ethanol in it since it mixes well with alcohol, and it won't separate on in the mix.

My cutting partner thinks it smells like poo! Says don't fill my saw up with that.
I love it. He can bring his own gas!

I'm running Maxima 927 which is a castor based oil. What's the difference between it and the K2? The castor smells nice and has been working well for me.

Been running R50 for 2 years now. Love it.
I'm running the Super Techniplate in my saws right now. I'm usually running 32:1. Never have to wear any deodorant, cologne, or after shave when you run it. Getting kinda expensive any more, I used to get it for about $4.00 a qt. when I ran my RM250 on it. I think the last I bought was around $12..

I run the R-50 at 36:1 and I love it!!!
I haven't had any issues with it not burning clean like Brad has but then I run it in ethanol gas and my saws are pretty "low performance".

A reliable source informed me Klotz Original Techniplate is the oil used in 50 fuel, or whatever they're calling theses days.
I ran R50 for two years without any real issues, it's great stuff. Right now I'm trying out K2 and so far so good.
K2 and R50 are both full Ester syn oils. 927 is a castor syn blend, similar to Klotz Super Techniplate.
Any of the oils listed will work very well in a chainsaw

Another oil I used to like is Bel-Ray MC-1. I think it was a little costlier than Klotz, didn't smell perfumey, but I haven't seen it in a long time. I don't know if they still make it.
