what kind of oil

[John R]

Isnt there a way to set the site up to reject any new thread talking about 2 cycle oil? opcorn:

If it bothers you that much, why do you open the thread and look at it?

There is always time for fun and games bit is it that damn hard to give a honest answer. What if I was an idiot and used motor oil? Would of ruined my saws.

 

[hanniedog]

Hard not to use sarcasm when this question gets asked about every other day. Use Dolmar, Echo, Stihl or Husky engine oil at 50-1 will be good. Personally I run 32-1 just because it makes me feel better, just follow the directions on the bottles and you will be fine.

Just hang in there OP while the natives have a bit of fun, nobody is bashing you or directly making fun of you and your question. The oil question has been asked around here a million times, and has more or less become a joke provoking thread anytime someone starts a new one asking that same question. Here is my input with an honest answer for you.

Stick to the name brands like Husky, Stihl, etc and avoid the bottom shelf area of the box stores and walmart. Sure, you may save a buck or two by buying some cheap two stroke oil, but you could end up paying for it in the end with a scored cylinder, burnt up bearings, etc. Look at your purchase of two stroke as an insurance policy, and invest accordingly. I personally will only burn Husky or Stihl Ultra when I can get it, but all the oils bottled under the Husky or Stihl name are good oils and are certainly better than the off brands you will find at the box stores.
That help any?

Bit testy this morning. A minute of research would have prevented all this fun.

[chopperfreak2k1]

IDK what you guys are talkin about, i love oil threads first thing in the morning!





Stihl HP ultra 50:1

 

[greendohn]

I run Echo or Jonsered from the stealership where I buy my saws.

I'm with Avelancher, stay away from the "tech 2000" and other low end oils.

Cheap mix would rank rite up there with used motor oil and bacon grease!!( which is really kinda funny, Them guys got some righteous REPP for the insanity)

Nice. Would you notice a change in saw performance? Naaahhhh.

 

[Gologit]

Nice. Would you notice a change in saw performance? Naaahhhh.

Naaaaah....but the smell of the exhaust smoke might make you hungry.

And, to stay on topic, Stihl ultra and 100LL mixed somewhere around 45:1.

 

[mile9socounty]

Your suspose to mix oil in the gasoline? Oh wow, I've been doing it all along.

 

[Fuzly]

It doesn't matter. Get something for air cooled engines, not the outboard oil. Synthetic-good
I'm using Ultra cause I have some left from buying my new leaf blower. I got the extended warranty deal.

I got my oil thread in for the year

Now I'm going to rub up with used motor oil and eat some bacon

 

[jmason]

Well If we are gonna joke. I just might have to start taking some bacon out with me so I have something to eat and fuel my saws. Maybe use it as bar oil if I need too
