Anyone use amsoil products in there saw

jmorgan71587 · Mar 26, 2009

So i am hooked up with a amsoil dealer for work and i was looking through the catalog the other day and saw bar and chain oil and the saber professional 100:1 pre-mix synthetic oil for chainsaws

has anyone used any of these?how do they work? If so do you mix it at 100:1 or the 25:1 that sthil recomends for other brand oils or should i mix it 50:1 btw i have a 028 super and a 036 pro

i use amsoil saber but i mix it at 50:1. ive had pretty good luck with it. ive ran through about half a case of it. about 70 gallons of premix. it seems to be working pretty good. I would run stihl ultra if it wasn't so darn expensive.

ive never messed with the amsoil bar oil tho

Im getting the bc oil for 13.99 qa gallon so i thought i would give it a try and the oil is 17.99 for a case of 12 3.5oz bottle

I have not run their 100:1 in my saws yet, but that is all I run in my 4-wheelers, dirt bikes and my weed eater.

I won't touch the stuff. I don't freaking trust it. If I burn something up running that stuff are they going to buy me a new one? Unlikely.

Not if it's out of warranty. I'd like to see Homelite buy me a brand new Super XL after I fry mine with Amsoil. Oh wait, you can't fry a SXL, they're too tough!

ha ha. all i can say is i've had good luck with amsoil. i might switch to stihl ultra after i run out of amsoil tho

Both of mine are out of warenty. I have run amsoil in my 28 skater with twin 280 mercs and it works great. And any problem with a fuel oil mixture that causes the feared, i think will come back on the mixer of the oil and gas.

b/c oil

I looked at the bar and chain oil. The guy told me it was the best and then he told me it was $21/gallon......I told him see ya later:taped:

AOD · Mar 26, 2009

I will try Amsoil if and only if they buy me a brand new 361 and pay for 2 years worth of Amsoil. If after running it on 100:1 for 2 years of hard cutting the piston still looks good and has good compression I might consider using their products. Until then I am not putting it anywhere near any of my 2-stroke stuff, not even my Super 2 or my beat up weed eater, not one drop, ever.

sILlogger · Mar 26, 2009

i know guys that have ran wal mart 2 stroke outboard oil for many hundreds of hours through 660's and never had a bit of problems.

y not just run the Saber 100:1 @ 50:1?

jmorgan71587 · Mar 26, 2009

there b/c oil only retails for 18.90 i dont know where he got 21 from if anyone is from pa and wants to try it i will sell the gallons for 15.00

I know nothing of their chainsaw oil but I run Dominator in my 2-stroke dirtbike and my snowmobile has been on Interceptor since new and it has 5500 miles on it now, no problems with either one.

I get my bar and chain oil from baileys for 7 bucks a gallon so 12 a gallon for amsoil wouldnt excite me!!

So which of the Amsoil products is best for a chainsaw? I've been a dealer and a preferred customer before just to get the discount on my auto engine oil, but never used their 2-smoke oil.
