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

Red or orange is a terrible color for a pre mix oil IMO. Given gas cans are red it's hard to tell if the fuel they contain is mixed.

This may sound like a dumb question, is there a good quality oil with blue dye in it? Most of the ones I have been trying out the fuel looks clear like no mix is in it, worried about someone at work grabbing strait gas I guess and putting in my equipment.

poulan 2t is dark blue and is good oil for the price.

im burning a wild mix in trimmers and blowers today mixed at 40:1 i had 16 oz of motul 8002t mixed with 16oz of echo red armor i blended the oils really well before i mixed them with fuel, it smells very funny. but echo red armor does have a ester base in it anyways.

Ill run the 2.5 gallons this week , i mixed it at 40:1

I ran a tank of it through my blower when i got home , we have 4 fukkin maple trees around the ghetto homestead that make me crazy with the mess they make..but my lady wants them to stay to keep the shade..i hate them.

[CR500]

That is what I do, ussally I mix up 5 gallons and transfer it over to a gallon jug hen needed.

 

[Deleted member 83629]

Why mix? Personally I think it's foolish.

And a 200+ page thread about oil isn't? Maybe mixing them could create a super duper oil that protects our s h i t beyond our wildest imaginations!

I asked Dave if he had heard anything and he hasn't. I'm hoping later this summer they'll be out.
