Poulan Pro synthetic oil??

[challenger]

I bought this oil on impulse yesterday at a local auto box store. Is it a decent oil for home use chainsaws? If it is garbage I'll toss it to someone else and get some better stuff. I've used Amsoil 100:1 mixed at 50:1 in the past . I don't need enough Amsoil stuff right now to merit a "dealer" order so I am not likely going to get the Amsoil any time soon.
Thanks

Why not? At worst you'll just eat a lot of smoke as in the days of yore. It has never killed any saw.
The operator, on the other side...

It's good oil.

Good oil. Made to specs for husqvarna. Look at that back of bottle. Also sold under other brand names like makita etc.

Don't toss it. It's good stuff.

Premium synthetic oil mixed @ 50:1 is sufficient for any of today's saws . Amsoi l is likely the preferred oil for many saw and small air cooled engine users . I currently use Sabre in all my 2 cycle engines . However Echo , Stihl and Poulan also makes quality syn oil !

Thanks all. I don't own any new saws. I only have a poulan 25da,a Partner 500 from the early 80s and a dolmar 120si from I have no idea when as I got it from a pawn shop in 2012. I rarely use a chainsaw these days but I don't want to use junk oil. After reading this thread I'm confident I can use it and maybe just mix it at 40:1 for all saws and tub e them to this mix. Sound reasonable?

I prefer 40:1 mix ratio. Better than have a bit too much oil than a bit too little.

If it says 40-1 mix it 40-1 !

Echo, Stihl, and Poulan do not make oil.

Oil companies make oil.

Oil companies make oil.

Nobody makes oil it's a long natural process OIl companys extract it & blend it Echo, Poulan, & Stihl ,don' blend oil they just put out a spec (or not)for tender & an oil blender does the job. Stihl used to be blended by Castrol most of the oil company's own brand oil is superior & cheaper to saw brand prioducts

I was gonna say that dinosaurs make oil. But I don’t believe that anyway...

 

[holeycow]

Holy crap Al, you used a little punctuation there!

 

[challenger]

But, but, but, it's SYNTHETIC oil...

Is it semi-synthetic ?

If it doesn’t say wild thing on it I would toss it.
