It does have to do with the amount of oil that will lube the engine . If it's set lean it receives less , rich...more .

What do you have against 800-2T? You may have already said, but I don't remember.

What changed your mind with the 800? This is an older statement you posted on an AS topic named (Two types of Stihl 2-stroke oil?). " K2 and Motul 800 are two of the absolute best oils you could use. You pay for it though as they tend to be priced considerably higher than Mx2t".

I can already tell you that it won't be worth the PIA factor or money and you'll probably switch back to what you get locally.
Just a guess... Even if it were a little better.. How much better does a person really need in a freaking chainsaw??

Guy at the bike shop showed me this ,says Ktm recommends it for the new bikes .
O
Lots of mettalics in it and its end point is such that it's hard to get complete combustion with the loads I am dealing with. It's great oil when used in the right applications.

The chainsaws are the least of my concerns. I have a two stroke street bike and a mx bike that are much more important. Without those two bikes I would run Citgo Aircooled semi syn at 32:1 and not lose sleep
My mind hasn't changed. 800T was and is a fine oil, when used right. If I was like Dave and milling alot I would use it no doubt.
No, but have used the red bottle Motorex and it's good stuff.
Where do you buy this? I did a quick search the other day and couldn't find it.
At any Citgo station.
Thanks. We dont have any of those stations around here, come to think of it I dont think I have ever seen one. There website station locator is about as clear as mud.

He's from da UP eh?? Dey gottem up der all over...
With that said i assume you mean you will get spooge. Looking at Ron660's pictures of motul its does appear to burn very clean. Mettalics are of concern you feel?

Thought I'd come in here and throw this up. Sold my 346 and the buyer wanted piston pics. Been running 40:1 Lucas for 25 tanks before this. As you can see she is wet and it is not tuned rich at all. piston also has a gooey film on it like i stated earlier in the thread. Perfect lean to scream tune LOL I think it's safe to take anything to do with oil with a grain of salt on the internets although that doesn't mean we can't beat the hell out of the topic LOL 
Yes, the dreaded black drool.. and yes mettalics are a concern, especially since I don't need the capabilities of that oil.
Looks pretty rich to me though with just those pics it's hard to tell.Thought I'd come in here and throw this up. Sold my 346 and the buyer wanted piston pics.

the point of the pic is that lucas leaves an oil film behind and i assure you it's not rich LOL there are many that can't properly tune a saw because of worry of things going boom. i'm not one of those people. i tune them lean so they scream. makes a saw more usable IMO. i mean not to lean by any means but even the most tune savy saw hacks wouldn't be able to hear it 4 stroke.
