I'm sure some of the caster oils will have advantages in the most extreme conditions, but that's not really going to happen in as saw.

R50
Motul 800
Silkolene pro 2 sx
K2
H1R is fine, I just didn't care for the tuning oddities, and it's one of the most expensive oils out there.

Out of the thinner oils

Yamalube
Motul 710
Stihl ultra
Never ran any Lucas, I'm sure it's decent oil, but I can't get over how watery thin it is.
I don't like K2 due to the excessive smoke when cold. I often need to start up a cold saw in the garage, otherwise I might not care so much. On another note, I just stopped by the local motorcycle shop and picked up a bottle of Yamalube and Super-M. I then ordered a bottle of Motul 710 off eBay.

The first list may have some advantages in extreme conditions, but also some downsides when used in a saw.
 
I wonder who will be the first to report the findings of the day?

I hope one of these jokers figures out what brand is best...Been running this as long as I can remember at 40:1 and am now down to my last few cans.$_3 (5).JPG

I need to make a decision on one of these fancy new synthetics before I run out.
 
Excellent. I'm liking the sounds of that Motul 710 too. It has an ester base, but is a synthetic mix with a lower flashpoint. It might be the ultimate OPE oil. Who knows!
I am running K2 in my stock 562xp with no smoke. It does smell a little funny. I also have a sneaking suspicion based on a few things that it's less clean than 2R at more than double the price.

I get little to no smoke from k2.

I heard that $hit make you cray!?
 
After all this reading IS there a PERFECT chainsaw oil?

Does a ported saw require a different mix than a stock saw? What then, are the two mixes for stock and ported?

I envy the simple minds out there that get by with "just OK" two cycle oils that work. My mind don't work that way unfortunately .

And the thought that goes with that is that they still heat their homes in the dead of winter without being "perfect" in their mixes. Makes me feel like a mess. These damn oil threads lol.

Josh, just use Rapeseed oil.

All the cool guys are doing it.
 
WHAT will this weekend GTG tell us?

And what it does will it really make any difference in how we do things now?

Matt's saw won......but not by much. The witnesses are thinking that H1R might be too thick for the M/T saws @ 32:1.

It is some damn thick oil.........
