661 Oil Test 32:1 vs 40:1 vs 50:1 ?

[bwalker]

If you buy small its about the same..$10 for a quart of Lucas and $12 for a liter of Super M. Gallons is different i pay $29 for a gallon of Lucas and Super M doesn't come in 1 gallon its 1/2 gallon or 5 gallons. I paid $26 for a half gallon of it. So basically $30 a gallon for Lucas or $52 a gallon for Super M. I see no added benefit using the Super M so its back to Lucas.....again

That seems awful expensive for Super M.

Would yo feel comfortable running lucas in a bike/banshee?

Price is important especially in a saw I know for a fact a saw will run a long time/burn a lot of fuel even with bad oil. Would be hard to justify paying double.. buy new saw with savings in oil!

 

[brockhaskins]

I've run super m in banshee with good results but again at double the price hard to justify. Thinking lucas 32:1 - 40:1 in both bike and saws.

Only to you..

Zinc is one he'll of an antioxidant, it's not just used as an AW additive.

Given the fact that most here have difficult tuning a saw correctly and the fact that most aren't using them commercially they would be well served by about any FD/FC oil.

Yes, it is, but even in passenger car motor oils it's found under 1% treat rate. It's even less in the average two cycle oil. Some two cycle oils don't even have zinc present..
So like I said, it's useless as a anti rust additive in a two cycle oil.

Again I'm sure Lucas oil works fine, but it's a very thin injector oil. Better options are available at about the same price. Amsoil Dominator, Yamalube R2 and so on.

I agree with that. Have no desire to try it.

Yeah i suppose you can get it a little cheaper online, i just wantd to try it.

Bwalker what about Amsoil Dominator? I can get that for the price as Lucas for, $9.99 a quart and its a full synthetic with esters.

 

[brockhaskins]

just ask the same question I was about to. Andy Walker would you consider Dominator superior to Lucas? also curious price per gallon

I would give it a try. Enough people I know have ran it with decent results. If I did I would have to hold my nose..Amsoil as a company is shady IMO.

So. Are all jaso fd/egd rated oils acceptable for use in a saw?

Yes.

Never ran lucas so I can't possibly say, but will say I have no desire to try it.

Any particular reason why?

 

[KenJax Tree]

Bwalker you raced boats right? This is on a quart of Dominator i was given...why is this?

I've read on MX forums about guys having rust in the bottom end using Dominator....because it has no rust inhibitors? Google Amsoil Dominator rust and a few different things pop up. Thats why i asked about it here.

I read same thing on banshee forum

Asked about color because seem to remember it not being easy to tell if mixed.
