About what I thought , around $ 35 / litre here in the Great White North , for this ester synthetic 800 T oil not cheap ! 700 $ 25 / litre pricing . The Maxima 927 does not appear all that special more like original Techniplate in comparison . It would appear Sabre shall remain my go to oil still at these price points !
927 has alot more castor in it than Klotz, but I also have the same opinion as you in that I think it's a much better product than ST. In fact Maxima makes better products than Klotz, period as far as I am concerned. Klotz sure does smell nice though.
Yeah but not all that good in my current overall applications Andre . Perhaps if it was available during my snowmobile or moto and enduro racing days . If I change from Sabre it would be to a ester based syn or full syn . Just can,t get my head around the elevated pricing !
Sabre costs more than something like Honda Hp2, Maxima K2 or Yam 2R here. All of those three are great oils.
It's used when making racing fuel mostly, I wouldn't use it in a normal saw, as it would leave hard deposit, although not on the level of ST.
Original techniplate is probably the only Klotz oil I would consider running in a normal saw, well R50 worked well for enough, crazy good film strength. Bad part about ST is the fact it's a moisture magnet, although many have ran it without issue.
Yeah limited to my old Sachs or Rotax hot saw perhaps that are long gone lol .
Esters and castor both attract moisture like crazy. Some are worse than others. I have had certain esters turn carb brass black with in a week. The Banshee I currently own had its lower end corroded to failure from being stored with ST by the previous owner.
It's a quality product too and a decent choice for a chainsaw.
