Stihl Ultra in the work saws, Klotz Original Techniplate in the race saws. Only reason I don't run Klotz in the work saws is the price.
Here's some info I found from a klotz oil retailer.
Synthetic oils are group IV (PAOs) and group V (esters) base oils. These synthetic oils are "man-made" synthesized uniform molecular structures that significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of these oils relative to their petroleum oil competitors. More specifically, these oils have lower coefficients of friction, thermal (heat) and pour-point (cold weather performance) properties than do petroleum oils. Finally, synthetic oils have no waxes, tars, or other contaminants to sludge or varnish your engine
No need to lock any thread. I actually have ran All the oils listed in this thread, plus many others. Klotz oils can and do run dirty, but the have great shear strength, that's why racers run klotz, that and because they make oils that mix well with, methanol alcohol and Nitromethane. In fact I have some race mix with Nitromethane, only oil I'll mix with it is Klotz.
Anyway run what you like, I'll answer any oil question to the best of my ability, if you don't like my answer so be it, move on.
If you have some time and interest do a search for Mobil vs Castrol synthetic law suit
Thanks man I try and give the best answer I know how, but some sure don't like it lol.
No doubt Klotz oil is good stuff, if you like running it, run it, but they're other options out there to choose from if you want to.
Here is a technical paper on synthetic esters for lubricants.
ESTERS IN SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS
By T. G. Schaefer
In the simplest terms, esters can be defined as the reaction products of acids and alcohols
