I've searched... Oil Thread

[TurboA2]

I've searched under Mix Oil, Oil Mix, and two stroke. I'll admit I am a sucker for oil threads but I and I couldn't find one that matched my question. My question isn't about performance or which is best. I just want to know what you use and why.

I use Amsoil Saber at 45:1. Why? It turns the gas blue. Blue is my favorite color.

Can you see the kind of answers I'm looking for?

Red Armor at 32:1 because it’s red and I’m a Bama fan. (And every time I take a saw apart all the innards appear well oiled)

My favorite subject!!

Seriously!!

Iv been talking for years on the same oil thread on a different forum.

So i use redline as it is what i use exclusively in my truck in every oily hole for the reasons of the base stock blend (mostly PAO and some ester) and the add pack they use.


Sorry, not the answer you’re looking for I think but it’s my answer.

Ha, good enough for me. I just want to know what and why from everyone. It doesn't have to be silly and I'm not changing what I use unless they change the color. I legitimately love the answers and oil threads.

I use Motul 800 at 40:1 because I have about 1/3 of a quart left. When that's gone I'll start an oil thread. LOL

I use stihl oil cause everyone hates the smell and if they ask to borrow a saw and i tell them that's what they have to use they usually just walk away.

Red armor at 40:1 because I have a mix of old and new equipment.

I use Motul at 40:1, lubricates well burns clean, doesn't smell bad, would be great if it was blue or green in color.

 

[cuinrearview]

Dolmar synth, cuz it's cheap by the case on the Bay. Performs well in my equipment too.

Edit: it turns the fuel blue too. 40:1 with no corn

Boom

I get depressed because I can't find one that turns the gas purple, like the oil in my truck is.

Is it wrong to enjoy running MotoMix every once in a great while cuz it's smells like deep fried mystery something or other? Stuff makes me hungry.

I use Husqvarna because a case came in where I work part time, and the labels were all jacked up so it couldn’t be sold off the shelf. Closing manager that night gave the the case for $1.00.

 

[dmb2613]

just started to use Stihl in the orange bottle at 25 to one cause I like the smell and smoke too

I use the Amzoil sabre pro. It looks just like the stuff the Honda shop sells and has been easily available at a local auto parts place. They did discontinue it, had 6 Amzoil products now only 5. Before that I used Gulf or Sunoco from a local gas station. The Amzoil stuff is JASO or some such rated. Even use it in other two cycle things and four mix.

 

[Andyshine77]

The answer is very clear! there is little debate on the subject lol.

 

[Haywire Haywood]

You didn't state what oil you used and why Andy... come on. Play the game.

 

[Andyshine77]

Must I? Alright.

Right now I run K2, have been for awhile now. Burns pretty clean and completely with it's middle of the road flash point, good film strength, saws tune well on it, and produces less odor than most. For milling or lots of stump work, oils like Motul 800, Klotz R50 and belray H1R are a good option as the engine temps get hot enough to burn them correctly, and the added film strength is needed in these applications.

The top oils I've used in a true work saw saw.
Maxima K2
Honda HP2
Amsoil Saber
Motul 710

I like oils with some ester base stocks, but honestly oils like HP2 and Saber are probably better for everyday work saws. Some of the new OEM oils are not bad either.
