We are still dealing with bad information on this whole oil test BS. I know others want to say this, but don't want to cause an uproar. A lot has been said behind the smoke and mirrors. Until the test is preformed by someone who is competent, this meandering thread will continue.

Well, yeah it will, but it's getting to be a little more like fun now, & insults seem to have been forgotten.:clap:
 
The real smoke and mirrors is testing a stock saw with 32:1 in a video and then later testing the same saw ported with 32:1 and finding 30% gain. Test the stock saw with OE oil at 50:1 and see what the difference is when it isn't gargling with too much oil, more than it was designed to use.

That's real smoke and mirrors IMO.
Gargling with too much oil,lol...You are barking up the wrong tree with that train of thought.
 
Test away Andre'

I had Inguinal hernia surgery two weeks ago, and wasn't in the best shape the passed few months. Trust me sitting on my ass with the nice weather is the hardest thing to deal with right now. In normal circumstances I would have already tested theses oils and documented the results.
 
OK, Red Bull has spent a lot of $ doing what everyone here seems to think is a BS test. So who is next up with their $ to test the way they think is the appropriate way to test?

Easy to sit on the sidelines. I'm ready to spend $. Anyone else?

We could raise $ from a pool of serious people that would post the closed results to only those willing to buy in and choose a testing agent and buy the saws, chains, oils, etc. Those not interested in spending $ can sit in the dark and wonder and armchair all they want. Like most of us are doing here now.

Let's start with $100 buy in. Any takers? I choose Andre' for the tester. Then when the results are posted he can feel what it is like to have his test called BS. We need one other willing to verify results. Those testing get a free pass of the buy in. Heck, let's go $200. For that we can buy some nice saws to run this test. Sell them off when finished and disperse the funds. Oils, chains, all the expenses we have enjoyed from ONE guy, Red Bull, now can be shared with everyone.

Suggestions?

I've done this 100's of times so has Brad, Randy, EC, DC, EHP the list goes on. I've out cut ported saws running 32:1 in a stock saw. Sorry the tester is not competent, the saw at the gtg was less than stellar, different fuels were used as well. Not all of the appropriate information has been presented.
 
We'll have no evidence of this until another oil like 800 or K2 is tested. That's why I've been pushing for that.
These so called tests are a circle jerk.. many people have noticed the tuning issues and it's noted in the ultralight test posted in this thread many pages back. The issue is real and exists.
Only sawculls would attribute a huge decrease in power by running slightly less oil.
 
If you have outcut ported saws Andre with stock saws on 32:1 please tell me the porters you have beat so I don't waste my $ :)

I have nothing against Red Bull in any way, this is not personal in any way, and I don't want him to take my critique as an attack. At the same time if I see what I know as bad information, I will say so.
 
So for once and for all, so those who have tested oils over 100 times, don't have to test ever again just how would a scientific test be set up?

Let's spend some money, big money and do it right.

Money talks and BS walks as they say. Let's vote on a favorite charity to give the proceeds to from the sale of the oils, chains, chainsaws, etc. I can use the tax deduction this year!
 
To save embarrassment send me a PM Andre' on the porters not to use. 30% as claimed from a ported saw is a lot to beat by a stock saw. They must be really bad. Thanks.

Where do we get 30% 40% and so on? Who is posting these numbers? The builders that's who. Most gains come from a MM and tightening up squish, some guys really don't even grind much anymore.:popcorn2:
