Listed as 'Very Good', under chainsaw column, I choose this as opposed to Saber because of the 100:1 ratio.
I think my smoking is due to Seafoam in my 4-cycle can before I prep the 2-cycle mix from the same can, make sense?
The 100:1 sounds like snake oil to me, did not want to risk the saw or other equipment that I run from the same can. I could be wrong - would not be the first time my fellow posters
I have used Saber in my Lawn Boy mowers and other 2cycle equipment and I have and have been pleased. The Lawn Boy mowers would really smoke using the Lawn Boy oil at the rate suggested but only smoke a little with the Saber. I use Stihl Ultra in all my saws at 50:1, just what I feel most comfortable with, but I think Saber is fine and would do a good job. I just don't want to risk going into my Stihl dealer with a blown up MS660 after using Saber at 100:1 ratio, it might work but that is a heck of a gamble.

run an oil (klotz)that has clean burn technolgy of a synthetic but added protection of castor ..also a huge benefit castor has more btus than gas does it actually makes more power! ,just becuase yo u have ran amsoil for a decade without the saw blowing up or in your 79 gremlin doesnt mean its the best oil or that the saw is performing to its potential ,amsoil runs these high ratios becuase it has a very high flash point unlike the premium better oils on the market ,at low rpms it is not burned off efficeintly and gums up transfers and exhaust tracts also makes starting a bit harder and can run choppy till the rpms are up enough to burn it off the dome ..its known for their aggresive marketing (free oil giveaways) with automotive/truck applications and really comparing a 4 stroke engine to a 2 stroke does not apply in this conversation considering this is about premix oil ,you guys that are concerned about smoke need to know that oil choice is critical to the way a saw runs its about the only thing protecting your internal parts.dont be fooled more oil always makes more power ..its dyno proven and not just what feels~ stronger in your hand and makes less smoke.despite what some manufacturers claims ..its a fact to reduce internal friction will always increase power and reliability
anyone wanna hear a blue marble story?
ran BM in my jonsered since new...lots-o-firewood under its belt,then one day mixed a gallon of gas with the stihl oil....started saw,went about cutting,set the saw down...wouldnt idle....turned up idle....went about cutting....used the gallon of mix and went back to bluemarble...had to turn idle back down.
