2-Cycle oil

[Stob]

I have been using Opti-2 oil which is a synthetic that claims it is a one mix for all. I have several 2 stroke tools that take different mixes and just couldn't see having a couple different gas mixes. I have used this now from 50:1 to 16:1 engines and have had no issues. Wondering if others have used it.

at that ratio you will lose a bearing in your saw that one mix fits all crap is anywhere from 70:1 to 100:1 in the packet.
just follows your manufactures guide lines regarding fuel mix ratio.

the cost savings is great and a gallon jug of it is 26.99 at the parts house.
it will make 40 gallons for me at 40:1

Yeah baby......another oil thread.

For best results it (oil) does need to be used. And, a proper ratio would be desired as well.

You know what I think now that the gas is more important! I just dumped the gas out of a bunch of saws ,weedwackers,blowers, and all the machines that will sit all winter to put some VP non ethanol to keep them good. What I saw was some water in the gas after it was dumped in a pan! Ethanol draws water in .

lucky me i got ethanol free 90 i quit using E5 in 2012 after seeing fuel line magically turned to rubber bands.

In NJ non ethanol gas can not be had at the pump I have to pay 60.00 for 5 gal of VP

$5.40 savings, you'll be rich in no time I tell ya,........... RICH.

hey 5 bucks is 5 bucks over time that adds up.

 

[Wannabe123]

I just pour any old 30 weight laying around in until the gas gets a Coca-Cola coloring to it. If I don't have fresh I'll just loosen the drain bolt in my truck and catch some run out in the saw's tank.

I am trying to be more environmentally conscious nowadays, so I'm experimenting with Wesson oil, old fry grease or mashed up soybeans, but these do seem to cause some cold start issues. Any ideas?

I wonder what a gallon of this would cost.
This 5 litre jug would mix 200 litres of gas at 50:1 right?

 

[Deleted member 83629]

you ever try the 5 gallon pail or woodland pro stuff it seems low priced.

I use whatever I find in the oil shed at the dump. Sometimes I find unopened containers of 2 stroke there.
