Bad idea. Klotz snowmobile oil is TC-W3 marine water cooled engine oil. NEVER use TC-W3 oil in an air cooled engine like a chainsaw. NEVER NEVER NEVER.I normally use klotz snowmobile oil burns clean smells good @ 32:1 trying out lucas @ 32:1 little saw spits oil out.of the muff the big saw does not spit at all and smokes way less maybe more power and heat in the big saw is burning the oil completely?
These are low performance engines, its not that big of a deal. You think an oil that keeps an 150 hp 2 cylinder 800 tec togather @ 8200 rpm wont keep a measly 5hp saw togather? Pretty sure an 800 etec could get hotter than any chainsaw could imagineBad idea. Klotz snowmobile oil is TC-W3 marine water cooled engine oil.

You want to use an oil designed for air cooled engines, and preferably API TC, JASO FC/FD or ISO-E/GD certified oil designed for air cooled engines. Not TC-W3 rated oil, water cooled 2-stroke oil, or any "all-purpose" 2-stroke oil. Seriously. I only use 100% synthetic JASO FD oil in my air cooled 2-stroke engines. They will last my lifetime that way.
Thats what similar to what i had heard which is why i run lucas also has good anti corrosion package but klotz smells better for sure and seems to rev better on the high end maybe because its full synthetic vs semi synthetic but at either price point still cheaper than echo red armor 80$ a gallon and stihl @ 100$ a gallonThe klotz snowmobile oil is also reccomended for the fan air and free air sleds. The twc rating was needed for the liquid sleds, and ironically what was reccomend by a klotz tech after a phone conversation that followed up after an email I had recieved from them. It's basically all the same base, with the additive package being the difference from what I understood. The snowmobile techniplate, has a higher concentration of anti corrosion additives then some of their oils.
Mr Haney, ( green acres ) stick to pots & pansBurned up lower ends until I went to 32:1. Not one since!
I run 3oz of rated, tested and labeled as such JASO FD oil per gallon myself. Mostly 'cause I am lazy. But that is perzactly 42.6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666 to 1.""Those saying they mix at 44:1 34:1 26:1 18:1""
Canned Homelite SAE 30 is the best ever.Delo 400 sae 30. Best ever

Opinions vary.Canned Homelite SAE 30 is the best ever.
Weight ounces and fluid ounces aren't the same thing. Fluid ounce is a volume measurement.Ever actually weight the liquid oz’s in an oil bottle. They are always way short. Like almost full oz off.
