Should be noted this is a strato engine, runs hot and lean and I ran it hard. The motor got very hot while burning stumps and brush.
It ran perfect until I dropped a stump on it with an excavator while burning stumps.
So what's the current Two stroke oil favorite for

Whats the exhaust port look like?

Thanks bud , yeah clearly on the bottle label described as low-ash . The write up though described it ashless , silly boys ! How much a bottle $ ?
6.99 per quart or 27.96 + tax per gallon It is cheaper than lucas oil
I tried to PM you but i could not.
Yep thanks for the back label photo , O'Reilly's detailed description stated where no ash 2 stroke application is required ! Their fupar !!
Guaranteed !
Which part?
Does 2 cycle oil have a self life?
There low end two cycle oil they carry is API TC mineral and states it is ashless.
But this is not from the data sheet in store it has sulfated ash content of .04 - .08
I logged for years, cut firewood for years too, and not just 10 cord a year. Now I cut a small amount of firewood and on occasion do some TSI work, land clearing ,etc. Anymore I make more money working overtime at the oil refinery I work for than doing side work. As a result I am pretty choosey on what I get involved in.
The exhaust port looked much better than yours with much more hours. No longer have the cylinder as it was trash after being crushed
I got twenty year old lawn boy oil i have used and it works just fine. If oil can set in the ground for 65 million years then 20 years in a sealed can is not going to be a problem.
Pretty much all of it.
Went of the rails as soon as polymers where brought up. Those polymers are in multi weight automotive oils as viscosity improves and are not present in two cycle oils.
I,ll try you bud !
Hell , most Lawnboys are that old , what's your point ?
Absolutely , silly boy !
TC wouldnt be ashless, but regardless this oil doesn't pass any standards so you have no way of knowing what is in t it or if it meets minimal quality levels.
this was a solder seal can with no bar code it must have been old!Hell , most Lawnboys are that old , what's your point ?
That was my rationale as well.
First I have heard 2 cycle oil goes bad on the shelf...
So does 2 cycle oil have a shelf life?
I cant find a date stamp on anything I have.
I can say for certain it is not stihl ultra LOL.
Mineral based oils if left sealed last an exceedingly long time. Once they are unsealed they can go bad. Especially if they contain any esters.
