Red line 2 stroke snow mobile oil.

[Jacklefty]

Hi, I stumbled across a whole un opened gallon of the red line 2 stroke snowmobile oil sitting on a shelf at work. I quickly skimmed the back of it and did not see anything that says it can or can't be used in a chain saw and was wondering if I can use it and is it good?.


Thanks,

I have been using up 2 gallons that fell in to my lap a few years ago. I mix 32/1 and mostly low rpm vintage stuff. Has to be better than 30wt. My red line stuff said semi synthetic. It said it was approved to work in all major brands of snow mobiles. Works great I have about 1 cup left of 2 gallons.

In a chain saw?

My old 08s manual specifies using (veedol ) snowmobile only.Must be the era
before air cooled mix was formulated as opposed to marine oil

Generally speaking, around here the more exotic the original intended use for the oil, the better we will like it. If they made some sort of space shuttle 2stroke oil, we would be all over that.

I've got some un-opened two-stroke Pennzoil oil in the plastic bottles from the early 1970's.

Any of you petroleum engineers know if it's still any good?

Good lubrication, may guys use it. If you store your saw for extended periods, I'd likely use something else.

We had a thread started here a long time ago about someone with a huge container of old stabilizer, he was asking how long it would be good for.
Someone told him that they made a stabilizer for that occaision...

If you're worried about it, email or call red line oil. Great people to deal with.

RedLine makes a great oil, especially for racing applications. The issue with some ester based oils is the fact they can be hygroscopic, which can lead to corrosion, but this is rare in chainsaw applications. If you want to use it, it's not going to blowup your saw or anything like that.

I'd have at least a 55 gallon drum.

As long as it's for "air cooled two stroke engines", I wouldn't worry one second.

Been using redline for years in all of my 2 strokes without issue. The snowmobile oil is engineered to flow at low temps in injection situations. Will work great in your saw! I have burned up at least a gallon of the snowmobile oil in my saw, weed whacker, and blower. If you run a modified hot saw I would use their racing 2 stroke product.
