The main issue with running TCW 3 oils in air cooled engines is varnish and carbon buildup, this can cause piston and cylinder scuffing + it's not stable at higher temperatures.
Bel-Ray H1R at 32:1 89 or 93 non tainted..........i dont cheerleader for ethanol.
Local mill owners bought that Woodland Pro stuff by the case, as it was cheap. They run it 50:1. I recently tore down there 385 husky, and have never seen so much carbon in my life. Not sure it the oil is what did it, but have my suspicions. The saw was tuned correctly, I might add.
Up until now, I have been running Mobil 1-2T, but am on my last quart.
I am fixing to try some Motul 800, and some Castor 927, as it was gave to me. After that ????
H1R is great oil.
With that said I'm a bit confused what this oil was really made for.
I will agree there. I read page after page about oils the last few days and some of what makes a good oil is the top ring temp. And i think this oil said 300* but my chainsaws aren't as high performance of say a new model so it may be ok for the older ones but the new ones with higher compression prob run hotter but nothing is said along that lines either. Oh well back to reading...Bob
2-Cycle TCW III is a high performance engine oil that improves performance and dramatically reduces wear in two-cycle gasoline engines. It’s recommended for use in both pre-mixed and oil injected gasoline two-cycle engines in outboard motors, motorcycles, jet skis, chain saws, etc.
I haven't seen any water cooled chainsaws yet but i am sure they are coming LOL...Bob

I think oil and spark plugs may be two things that should not keep us up at night. We are serious about maintenance, and that may be more important.:dunno:
