2 stroke oil mix

[Lakeside53]

Where I currently work, they used to run drain oil through a coffee filter and then use it as bar oil. One of the oldtimers swore that they never had any problems doing that. That same oldtimer has a "knot" on his laynard that is held together by wire that looks to be a straighten out paper clip.

I find old-timers swear a lot, but...

Pity it's toxic waste... and disgusting to work on saw that have used it.

I'm surprised at you. You know you should run the old oil only after you've drug a magnet through the drain pan to get out the bigger chunks of metal.

No need to do that! The drain plugs in my truck and chipper have magnets in them

The real secret is to run the drippings through a paper towel, after letting it settle for a few days in an old paint can. I mean, that stuff is almost good enough to run in the truck again after it has been let to settle and been filtered!

And if you can't wait 3 years, take off the airfilter and insert a 1/4 teaspoon of fine sand into the carb throat now and then.

I bow to your expertise.

Stihl Ultra is worth the extra cost, mix it 50:1 with your oj and vodka and no matter how much you drink you won't be hung over the next day!
