661 Oil Test 32:1 vs 40:1 vs 50:1 ?

[bwalker]

off the yamalube 2R MSDS! it was weird...why would they be listed there of all places!??!?!? I don't know man!

Your the oil god here. where do you think!

Obviously. . Reason I asked is the test methods for viscosity are all over the place for the oils I have looked up. This makes a comparison difficult, no?

 

[bwalker]

Thats part of the concept of more oil in a bottle of 800t than in a bottle of 2r due to solvents. He will be able to tell u how he figured it when he gets up. Hes sharp!!

Let's assume that 800T doesn't have any solvent, and I am not convinced it doesn't as MSDS don't list all ingrediants and let's also assume that 2R is 10% solvents, which is higher than I believe to be true. I still am not connecting the dots where 2r at 32:1 = 800T at 58:1.

Where did you get these numbers from?

I think klotz actually gives 3 values dont they? A minimum , maximum, and a typical?

anything that doesn't confirm 2R as the go to oil is suspect information and clouded by variables. Anything that makes 2R look good is the gospel and shall be preached high above the mountain tops.

I like the 2r also. Give it a try and tell us what u think?

Where's the cheapest place to get 2R? I'm going to get some and try it. Heck it may be awesome stuff. I'm willing to try it out against all the others.

There are other good oils..just not that sludge you use. I am not even running 2R right now..

My Ford FX2 truck and Ford Expedition both require 5w-20 oil. Wonder what will happen if I run 15w-50 in them?

Lower fuel mileage.

More wear at start up in cold weather. Fill between the low and high on the dipstick for expansion. Or a shade less than half.

So what are you using oh wise one? Inquiring minds would like to know what is the best!

Currently I am trying out Maxima K2.

 

[Time's Standing Stihl]

So what were you using that you didn't like the qualities of in order for you to switch to k2?

I was using 2R and am in fact using it still in my bike. It's worked boringly fine for me for years.
Trying K2 for no other reason than curiosity.

I wonder what would happen if you put in more oil than was recommended.[emoji6]

So after all the hooten and halleren on this thread can we come up with an idea of what the top 3 oils to use are?
