Hi folks
I have been a lurker here for a couple of years and specifically reading the various threads on oil ratio. I have read a wide range of thoughts and opinions on 50: 1 versus 40: 1 and a few others. Admittedly there have been some very interesting and convincing opinions.
However, I also sense that not all factors are always considered. For example, newness of the machine, regular vs synthetic oil, the activity (cutting vs milling), the engine CCs, chain type, wood species, width...maybe even altitude!
So, heres my situation:
Im running a big machine, H 3120, which I have hooked up to a homemade saw mill rig.
----
At any rate, based on my list above what do you all recommend for my oil ratio?
(Ps I'll snap some pictures of my new milling rig tommorow)
Thanks folks

- I'm running a 4' bar.
- Ripping chain
- And while I do take the saw out to cut I'm primarily using it for milling
- Using synthetic 2 stoke
- My machine is used but has been refurbished and certified.
- Mostly cut hardwoods
