when I use Gary's Goo I find that I don't have to use bar oil because his mix oil is that slippery, just point the exhaust down at the bar.

If you're saying that you have no problems using Saber at 100:1, then great! If you're recommending that I use it at that lean of a mixture, then I have concerns. I use my saws to make a living and for that reason I must ere on the side of caution and educated advice. If another or others on this site recognized for their experience in saws recommend against it, then at worst I use a bit more oil than necessary, no harm no foul. But if on the other hand I burn up one or more saws, then I'm doing worse than losing money, I can't even make it, and all over probably less than 25ml of oil per gallon.
Trust me when I tell you to review the STICKIES.
I'm aware of what Amsoil is. If you reread my post you'll see that I'm referring to synthetic oils in general.
I use Amsoil in everything and will contiinue to do so. However, they used to be very clear about their use of PAO base stock but have now switched to wording very similar to what Mobil 1 used when responding to the question in their FAQ. ( I just checked the US Mobil 1 site and they no longer even mention PAO based oil.)
From the Amsoil website:
Their answer is ambiguous at best. As to which of their oils are PAO based, do you have a link to confirm your statement?
Just Curious as to what it cost's you guy's for a slippery quart of this fabled "Gary's Goo".
I'm just a guy that want's the very best for his saws..ya know.:msp_tongue:
But Amsoil does not only use PAO so what make it an issue? Amsoil is better in my eyes then Mobil.
BITOG site is okay at best since when Bob owned it was way better. New owner, is lacking; aka why do you think they lost some sponsers (and 1 great one)!
Don't get me wrong, I like Amsoil better than Mobil 1 too.
What bothers me is that Amsoil used to be very clear about their use of PAO base stock. Now they aren't. Whether they are going the same route as Mobil, Castrol and a host of others producing "synthetic" oil from mineral base stock is unclear. The initial reason we paid a premium price for synthetic was due to the high cost of producing the PAO base stock.
Then Mobil and Castrol used lawyers to get the definition of "synthetic" changed to include highly refined mineral stock which is cheaper to produce. It's still very good but it isn't PAO which is arguably still the best. The result is that now we have a plethora of "synthetic" oils that really aren't true to the original designation. In fact, calling an oil synthetic is largely left up to the company marketing it.
Note that in Germany and other countries synthetic really has to be synthetic. This current definition is a North America marketing scheme.
I'm just disappointed that Amsoil has removed PAO from their advertised descriptions. I like to know that when I'm paying for the best I'm actually getting it.
If someone can provide current information about Amsoil's use of PAO base stock, it would make me feel a whole lot better.
