    Chainsaw 2 Cycle Oil Poll

    I found a new oil I am trying out. I guarantee no one on this entire site is using this or has ever used or probably ever heard of it: http://www.recpower.com/bluemax.htm BlueMax 2 Cycle Aviation Engine Oil ISO Rated EG-D+ Less smoke Cooler temperatures Cleaner crankcase No sticking rings No...

    Two-Stroke Oils: All the Same?

    Can you still buy this exact product in your locale? Because either they reformulated this oil years ago and some (most?) places are selling the thinner red version. I know this for a fact for 2 reasons: 1) The shipment I got of 5 1 liter bottles is not blue like yours is, it is dyed red...

    Two-Stroke Oils: All the Same?

    Here's a thread from a guy who has tested 2 stroke oils for the Department of Defense in 2 stroke UAV engines. Note the thread title: https://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57253 What do you think of the pics there. He says there is no way it was running rich either.

    Two-Stroke Oils: All the Same?

    I sold it all years ago, (some of it to someone here) and had to give some away due to a move. Lately I've been experimenting with: https://www.essentialube.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/TDS-0058-HyFilm-Hy-Rev-2-Cycle-Oil.pdf And I ordered that stuff you mentioned, the WP2, plus I'm going to...

    Two-Stroke Oils: All the Same?

    Here's some interesting technical info that I ran across along time ago. Basically there was a study done by Yamaha Motors showing that there is actually a detrimental effect of the PIB additive used in in most synthetic and semi-synthetic 2 cycle oils. It sates that PIB actually *increases*...

    Two-Stroke Oils: All the Same?

    I've never used it, but I don't see a serious issue with it (minus the cost) from the numerous testimonials (cept for spooge buildup in mufflers that's been reported) and pics everywhere. One thing about this oil that I don't think many are aware of is that there is an identical product that is...

    Two-Stroke Oils: All the Same?

    Most, not any. Redline Racing 2- stroke is considered a premium oil, and there are many accounts on this forum, and others, with the same accounts of rust inside the crankcase, corroded/tarnished brass carb jets. Then there's Lucas "High Performance" Semi-Synthetic, an oil many "swear by"...

    Two-Stroke Oils: All the Same?

    I just ordered a bottle of this on Ebay to try it out for myself. I wanted to chime in here because I actually enjoy these types of threads and reading peoples experiences, esteeming those especially that include pics of torn down motors, which most would never want to be bothered with doing...

    Oil mix for 3120k

    API TC spec is all you need. Better off running Dino Walmart Supertech at 25:1 than Saber at any ratio, imo. Try https://products.lelubricants.com/item/two-cycle/monolec-two-cycle-engine-oil-8104/8104-pint at 25:1. I have all my equipment using non-synthetic right now (the aforementioned plus...

    Engines below 50cc's Minimum fuel to oil ratio 20:1, currently breaking in a new handheld blower at 18:1 on Lubrication Engineers SAE 40 LE8104 (Dino oil). I also have on hand a pretty good stockpile of long discontinued Pennzoil Air Cooled (the real stuff, not the one with "Outdoor" on the...

    Chain seizes up, appears almost no oil on chain - new Echo CS-590

    Hi, ok I'm posting on behalf of someone else who I recommended this saw to, bought brand new from a dealer. When he bought this saw new, right out of the starting gates, the oil pump was non-functional (found this out after he tried cutting several logs with it). The bar oil reservoir was...

    Is ethanol really that bad?

    No, it's in there because it's a huge moneymaking scam forced upon the public in the name of helping the environment, which is a lie for multiple reasons. Guess what, a lot of equipment (i.e. landscaping outdoor power equipment) nowadays have carbs that are completely non-adjustable because of...

    Is ethanol really that bad?

    Is ethanol that bad? Yes, for the following reasons: 1) Ethanol does not explode like gasoline does, it does not have the same stoichiometric properties as gasoline. 2) I have read that 10% ethanol equates to leaning out of fuel to air mixture by about 4%. What a complete waste of volume for...
