What kind of 2 stroke oil are you using??

[Marshy]

It doesn't matter what kind you use, as long as you change it often.

And use nearly twice the amount necessary. More is better.

All these oil threads are confusing, and to be honest, just plain damn boring. So with that said, I just quit using any oil, and just use straight gas. My saws seem to have more power, and turn some serious revs.

Olive oil works great. If you're a NOOB, then start with the extra virgin stuff.
