What brand of 2 stroke oil are you using ?

[holeycow]

What brand was showing the carbon.

I forget. Sad, I know.

I just mixed up a couple of 5 gallon cans or so and tossed the container and voila! History. Rejected data. Done. Oops. If it comes back to me I will post it here. I kinda want to know myself.
could have been yamalube, castrol, or maybe something else. I was using up "old stock"...

Well I am searching for alternative 2cycle oils, I used Opti2 2 for years in everything (no problems) Husqvarna, Homelite and now Stihl HP, anybody know anything about or used Motul 800 for a chainsaw?

 

[oologahan]

Husqvarna, used since the first saw I bought and ever since, never had a problem and still running my 365s from 2004 on it.

I have run stihl 50:1 almost exclusively orange bottle then the silver bottle. I have tried husqvarna 50:1.
I'm pretty anal over being exact on measuring gas mix. I rinse the bottles and error to the side of just shy on gas.

My dad mixed up a tank and burned up a saw of mine . i dont rememer the exact mess up. Maybe 1 gal mix to 1.5 to 2 gal. Since then i keep the mix tanks filled and labled. Saws are expensive and proper gas mix is dirt cheap.

Amsoil Saber synthetic. Been using it for over 10 years in everything 2 stroke, works great

Almost all threads about 2 stroke oils you use are outdated that's why decide to update. Need this information to understand which oils are most used in 2 stroke handhelds to test on my device, yesterday analyzer ran out of memory had to optimise the code. Last option will be to drop accuracy to 10:1 increments which will give me more room to maneuver i.e. from 30:1 all the way up to 55:1 but with 10:1 increments up to 50:1 then 5:1 increment to 55:1. And transitions i.e. below 30:1, 30-40:1, 40-50:1,50-55:1 and above 55:1. Thanks for your participation in the poll.

I use STIHL Ultra Premium

I have read this thread and asked some questions, I have a new question, anyone know anything about Echo 2 stroke oil? Red Armor or Power Blend Gold? Any experience? Good or Bad.
Thank you

I would bet more saws are injured by too lean of a mix than by what brand of mix they use.....

I would bet Barnie is correct. About twenty or thirty years ago when i was racing dirt bikes I could get Maxima M pretty much free so I always had a five gallon bucket of it. When that ran out I got Lucas Oil free and then that ran out and finally I got Yamalube free. Well I used the last of that two or three years ago and bought Walmart Supertech. I can not tell the difference at all. Since I have not had any engine failures in fifteen hundred cords of wood I think that my oil combination is usable. As long as the stuff is slippery it should work fine. Thanks
