The best 2 stroke oil?

[mottofreee]

So i'm not a constant user of my chainsaws but things can happen around the house,like a few trees leaning over the fence or something so the chainsaws can be sitting for a few months and suddenly go trough 4-5 tanks of gas in a day,now i mix my fuel at a 25:1 mix meaning that i put 25 ml of oil in 1 litre of gas but the amount is not a problem the oil is.I don't know what oil i should use.I have Husqvarna LS+,Stihl HP and Stihl HP ultra and i dont know what should i stick with.Any advice?

RO gasolines require a more 'greasy' mixture. The chainsaw oils are different from the 'Racing' oils. The 'Racing' oils are designed for engines that have lower operating temperatures than the chainsaw ones. The 'Racing' oils are intended for motorcycles and karts .
There are also 2T oils for motor boats - the 'Marine' oils. These are formulated to work in cooler engines than 'Racing'.
Husqvarna LS+ oil is ok in proportion of 23...25ml/l.
A decent chain oil in terms of price/quality is forest plus, but the best is Oregon when it's at the right price.
LS+ e la pret decent (45...55lei) si e un ulei pe care-l folosesc de ani de zile in tot felul de utilaje - Husky ,Stihl ,McCulloch ,Echo ;binenteles ca nu putea lipsi china cu 4500 dar la aia nu e prea elocvent ca prin constructie ba se rupe hamul ,ba se caca calul .

Ran a bunch tanks of red armor in an old l Mac at 30:1 with 87 ethanol. Works good, I like the red dye as well

Sorry for a translator with artificial intelligence.
RO gasoline means gasoline from Romania and about the Husqvarna LS+ oil I say that it is a good oil at a decent price (US$10...12).

I like Saber, mostly because it’s blue, smells great and burns well. I don’t like amsoils testing and marketing though.

Or not actually warranting all the engines that blew up running 100:1 ratio....

It was too good of a deal to pass up. I'll be using it for a few years. Then on to whatever the next good deal is.

In today's inflationary economy, seeing a 'good deal' and not acting on it is IMO, lack of fore sight.

A lot of people run 100:1 and have no problems, I’d suggest that the ones that were blown up were either too lean or had other fuel restrictions / air leaks and that high oil ratio finished it off. If it was that problematic they wouldn’t still be recommending it decades later. With that said I’ll stick at around 50:1

Yeah, um no. Guess you missed that thread several years back, can't remember if it was on here or the other forum. Perfectly good running saws switched to amsoil @100 to 1 and dead within a few tanks. Was debated to death and then some. Seemed fairly simple to me. One varriable was changed. The oil. I wouldn't run it in anything.

Was it ported?

 

[sean donato]

No, none of them were. All stock, all ran just fine before the switch.

I never burned anything up with Amsoil 40 to 1 Been using it for many years. I run it in saws, trimmers, blowers etc.!

Interesting! I wouldn’t use 100:1, I hear a lot of people on Facebook groups run 80/100:1 for years problem free so can only go off what I have heard from the. It’s just too skinny for me.

Stay at 40 or 50 to 1 !

 

[Vintage Engine Repairs]

Stay at 40 or 50 to 1 !

Yep, agreed. I have tried everything from 32:1 to 80:1.
Like you, I like 40:1 in saws, but because I work on a lot of ope like hedge trimmers and leaf blowers as well, the load is just too low to burn it cleanly. Went to 50:1 and got a happy medium. As mentioned before, I have a friend who runs it at 16:1 in rc boats and it burns with very little (almost no) carbon. It’s full throttle constant load at circa 17,000 rpm’s.

How fast is that going?

 

[jellyroll]

I know what the RC guys ran here back in the day when i was younger. Pennzoil air cooled was big during that time.

I double checked with him:

Guys if your gonna run the amsoil, saber dominator, whatever, you are dead on at 40:1, 50:1 tops. 100:1 is just way too thin for ope motors. The duty cycle is too abusive for a thin mix like 100:1. Hell I wouldn't run it that thin in my old Kawasaki jet ski, and it is water cooled.

I use Amsoil Saber at 90:1. Have been for years in all my 2 stroke saws and weed eaters. Best oil going in my opinion. Then again, I use all their products and find them to be excellent. However, I often wonder about those that have had issues with Amsoil, if people are using the wrong Amsoil product. Interceptor, Dominator and their Injector Oil mix at 50:1. Saber is their only product that runs up to 100:1.

50:1.
If defects appear, it is known for sure that they were not due to the mixture ratio.
You can go to 40:1 if the gasoline is of lower quality.
At 100:1, the engine remains without sufficient lubrication. If you put 100:1, the repairmen can't wait...
