    I run a bunch of super tech and don't have those issues.

    Yea I agree. I'm sure Walmart does ZERO research for two stroke oil other than they look what the spec is and contract that out to a bottler/distributor to bottle an oil that meets such specs and put it in this color bottle with this label.

    I don't believe it was claimed that VP produces the Walmart brand 2 stroke oil. I think that it was claimed that VP doesn't even make its own branded oil sold at Walmart.

    That's good to know. I now have just shy of a gallon of Red Armor cause I made up 2 gallons but I will try to remember that. But by the time I need oil again Walmart is liable to not carry it anymore. I did see the VP oil there and almost pot some of it as a stop gap solution.

    I can buy non E so I use pump gas and quality oil. I have used almost a gallon in the last few weeks of mix. I need to go mix up 2 more gallons since I got the Red Armor in the mail a week or so ago.

    Most of these guys when they heard it was discontinued went to stores and bought every case they could get. There seems to be several of these folks whenever oil threads are brought up no matter what the forum is.

    Tell the guy your fixing it for he might want to flip it over, it might not run right with that arm upside down!

    I'm with you. I really don't see the point or added benefit of running 80-100:1. If you burn a quart of oil a year you save have the price of a quart of oil. What's a qt of amsoil cost? $15 so you save $7. What benefit do you get running that ragged edge to save $7/yr on 2 stroke oil?

    I thought about getting some of that from Walmart in the small bottle if I needed a hold over oil. I had enough Lucas left over to make a gallon of mix right now. I went with the Echo Red Armor, heard nothing but good out of it. And even that oil comes in $14 or more a quart when you figure it...

    Red armor I believe claims to stabilize fuel for 2 years. All Stihl and husky oil does a year. I don't leave my fuel around that long. I use up 2 gallons in a few months usually maybe 6 months. If it's a year old it's going into a mower and buying new.

    So what's the current Two stroke oil favorite for

    Well those 16:1 and 24:1 ratios were running regular sae30 weight engine oil. You are correct dedicated two stroke oil is better. But is it that much different than 20 years ago(maybe a few more) when 40:1 was the recommendation from Stihl ond others? Epa stuff forced the 50:1 move if I am not...

    I needed up buying a gallon of Red Armor off Amazon for about $60 with tax shipped to my house. My local dealer told me I had to buy the case and not just one gallon of he ordered it. So he didn't play ball. I am just going against what I have heard about synthetic not leaving a good enough film...

    They advertise it to be used like that. Burns cleaner they say, saves you money on oil. Personally I don't have an issue with coked up saws and your not saving that much on oil to trust their non certified oil and their research with your $1200 saw!! But those that do trust and run it with good...

    I'm sure it runs really clean at 80:1

    So what's the current Two stroke oil favorite for

    Yep haven't seen much echo but last I was reading this oil stuff consensus was that red armor was top of the line. I'm leaning more to buying a gallon of red armor and be done with it. I was hoping to go with a semi syn oil but may go full syn. When I did run amsoil I ran Dominator.

    I think a lot of the ported saw guys are running 40:1 in the 661 and have been since they became available years ago. I remember them saying that 32:1 was too rich oil wise for them after reading about them. For a few threads years ago.

    Yea I don't have any complaints other than I wish it came in quart bottles.

    So what's the current Two stroke oil favorite for

    I have heard really good things about red armor echo oil. It's on Amazon by the gallon for a good price that still is many years of oil for me and I'd rather not spend $60 today on oil. I also like semi synthetic having heard that the dino oil base sticks around longer on parts when a saw may...

    Not a friend but I read posts he does. Anyone here knows who it is I am sure. No it's not the builder that got coked up and screwed a bunch of people. Like I said I never met the guy, actually did business with him for a small transaction, but I sold him some things. Anyway I don't see why...
