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

[porsche965]

Since all this takes accurate measuring what are you all using to measure out the oil for mixing?

I'm using a glass corningware now. And always swish with gas to get that last of it out. Speaking of which that in itself is telling somewhat of an oils weight I think as some take more effort to get completely diluted and out of the glass.

I use a ratio rite. I add my oil then pour in some gas from the can im mixing into and swish it all around so it mixes then pour it all into the can...no oil left behind.

 

[porsche965]

Add the gas before dumping it out sounds like a good idea, I'll try that.

It got dead in here....i guess nobody wants to talk about our junk semi synthetics[emoji20]

Based on this 32:1 or 40:1?

I don't chose a ratio based on viscosity...

A ratio right that I have had since 1994.

Which is another reason a little solvent isn't a bad thing..

I'm going to try yamalube and maybe lucas next. I've seen the inside of Matt's 7900 and it was run on Lucas with a good coating on the inside.

That's just an indication of oil ratio. It's not like one oil coats better than the other.

Okay what pros do semi synthetics have besides price?

I'm interested lol

You are inviting comments that paint with a broad brush.
Quality oils are quality oils regardless of what base oils they use.

Can one PM me some info then lol

Someone can pm you but they would be making blanket statements at best.
I will point out that the vast majority of JASO FD and ISO EGD oils are synthetic blends.

Nevermind then haha

I hate to look at it that way. there are semi syn oils that are much better than full syn oils.

Don't these posts kinda contradict with eachother?

 

[Flatie]

Its about balance.. Too thick and it combusts like crap. Too thin and it doesn't lubricate as well.

Surely an oil like 710 which is designed for both would be fine? What puts you off an oil designed for both applications?

Stihl ultra at 50:1 feels dry inside. Any of the bike oils I tried were wet on the inside even when I didn't run 32:1 and was more towards 45:1.

 

[porsche965]

Why would that be? Talking about Ultra or any dry lubricant. (That sounds bad dont it?) And is dry necessarily bad?

There are spray lubricants that work well like graphite that are dry.

Milling is a whole other world though Mike that's for sure compared to firewood cutting!

 

[KenJax Tree]

Milling i would definitely use 32:1...cutting wood im sure 36:1 or 40:1 is just fine
