Interesting. So, 49% of the respondent's are running 50:1. How many oil failures have those 49% had? opcorn:

Seriously Space, I was thinking what is best for a saw; not what is adequate.

Fish resurrected a good read on the subject (after I posted the Jennings article, I think), and from what I've read of bwalker's posts (in that thread and others) he knows his stuff! Here's a link if you're interested: http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=6104


The 50:1 is still ~49% as you quoted, but I was expecting that stat to be in the 70-80% range; so a good poll for my interest.

That leaves ~37% running 40:1 and ~9% running 32:1 and ~1% 24:1 and none @16:1

Which shows ~47% total are running more that recommended (not counting outliers).


Thanks for your input people
