G'day.
My inquisitive nature compels me to inquire within your seemingly well-versed and knowledgeable community regarding the superior ratio of lubrication to use in my recently-acquired Stihl chainsaw. Please refrain from directing me to the search function, as I have already perused the entire site and have yet to find a definitive answer to my inquiry, and I hope to at least glean some clarifying information regardless of any vexation which may surface. While I like to remain as nearly autonomous as possible, perhaps you fine gents can bestow upon a mere layman such as myself some of your superior wisdom regarding the more subtle points of lubrication engineering without violating my sense of independence.
The owner’s manual that Stihl so thoughtfully encompassed with their basic saw package recommends a ratio of 50 parts premium grade petrol to 1 part proprietary OEM oil, synthetic substitutions notwithstanding. Is this the superior fuel? Through my inherently-neophyte calculations, I determined that 100 parts gasoline to 2 parts OEM oil would yield a more effective medium for power production.
Additionally, I’ve also been informed by a gent from the local pub that I can give the saw increased performance and life by not using any oil, but rather using a scientifically-treated form of gopher urine that is to become the new wave of lubrication technology. How does this thought strike your fancy? The fellow seemed quite logical and cogent; however I began to question his methods when he recommended praying to the slinky milling machine gods before mixing the fuel. Thanks in advance.
