Why would you even want to risk it in a 2-stoke...?

What makes you think it's risky (no, I do not sell/have any affiliation with G-Oil whatsoever
)
Does it meet or exceed the newest rating for 2 stroke oil?

Exceeds API TC according to their website.

The cows are firmly against it. Eat more chicken!

The newest rating ISO EGD or the new JASO-FD?

So now to get us off the petroleum, we'll have tens of thousands of acres of corn to produce ethanol, and tens of thousands of acres of genetically modified over-weight cows to produce the lard to make oil out of.
Now if we could just get the fertilizer and cow crap runoff out of our drinking water we would be set. :greenchainsaw:

This stuff looks interesting, maybe when I run out of the gallon I just bought I'll give it a try. After a little more research of course

TC what? TC-3? TCW?
You can make oil from many base materials, but I question why? we're only putting in 2.6 oz per gallon... the rest (if not E10) is pure petroleum.
I'm betting 'Yet another company trying to cash in on the "bio" craze". Probably with a honking Govt grant (our money) and tax breaks (our money). Heck, I won't even use that oil that Ben Walker thinks is only good for settling dust on gravel roads.

I don't wanna smell steak cooking when I'm out the bush. Unless I'm cooking it to eat!
Echo warranty statement. Don't the other manufacturers have similar warranty policies.

Hmmmm... they raised tha bar to meet their own oils.. Way to go Echo!!!!
Stihl just says TC-3, and not to use TCW, but no threatening statement like echo.

Dolmar recommendations:
To lubricate the engine, use a high-performance two-stroke
engine oil (quality grade JASO FC or ISO EGD specifications),
which is added to the fuel.

G-Oil states that their oil meets Husqvarna Chainsaw Requirements. Anyone know what Husqvarna's recommendation is?
Technically spoken, would it not be stupid to think only the existing oils are able to lubricate a 2 stroke?
In reality of course, as was stated Why risk it? Its your investment so ...
My question, how many cows does it take to lubricate a 361 during a 15 year lifespan?
It looks all very nice and very alternative but that does not mean it actually is an alternative.
One more thing, Why people are green and/or are running branded products? (all the green stuff is the same as a brand to me)
Because in the first place they can afford it.
Go look at those who need to run to earn their bread and dont have the resources to choose the latest fashion and maybe you'll find an 'adequate' solution.

why risk it ?why not ,I will when I run out of oil I have now . Hopefully I can get some of there motor for my car as it is ready for a oil change .Yeah I am not dump this stuff in a brand new truck or brand new saw that might break the warranty or I would ran it in saw I had to use everyday but it seems that most everybody here including me has a saw they could risk.
