Could some of you experts out there chime in on which mix they think is the best. Thanks
Here's my two cents. I use Stihl Ultra mixed at 40:1 except in the summer I add the same amount of Coopertone to the mix so when I'm cutting I'm basted all over and never get a sunburn. You can imagine the fog that I'm cutting in.
If the smell is important to you you should try an oil with castor in it. I used this back in the 60's in my 2 stroke bikes and there isn't anything else like it. Maxima 927, various Klotz and others perform well and nothing prevents seizures like castor oil. It can be a mess though if you use the wrong proportions. I am now using Motul 800 2T and it is excellent and is one of the best for anti wear properties. Plus it's red and easily seen in the mix and smells good.Ultra smells really nice, that's why I use it. Especially when bucking up cherry or other nice wood.
Never used xp oil but there's no reason not to use it in a chainsaw. I'd be curious as to whether it smells as good as Ultra- maybe somebody that's used both can fill us in.
What is your favorite mix? I like Henry Weinhard's rootbeer, a dash of ultra and a cherry floating on top! Seems to keep me regular! Haven't come up with a recipe for the Motul oil yet.Stihl Ultra here, love it. Tastes great also, awesome in a mixed drink.<a href='' title=''><img src='http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/party/party0036.gif' alt='' border='0'></a>
heck theyre all probly contracted out made in the same plant along side eachother, something like that wouldnt suprise me at all.
