Right now i'm using up some Maxima Super M i have. I gotta burn up some of the oil i have in my stash. I'm gonna give the Redmax oil a try its cheap and FD rated, i got a little 50:1 bottle with my new Redmax edger.
the redmax is 36$ per gallon here at the dealership. its blended by citgo which also produces echo powerblend which is good oil.
Thanks for the info, sounds like a good time. ☺
EXCELLENT protection right there! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy knowing the full synthetic Lucas is in my saws right now!!
................... i still think ya'll are over thinking it. i am not saying i never did but i have been running cheap **** oil at 40:1 for 2 weeks now. tempted to go to 50:1. i will not say i'm not scared to do so but i'm thinking about it with some of the beaters at least.

So is it possible that 800 would be better in regards to breathing fumes as there is no PIB?
Its possible, but the opposite is also possible as well.
Food for thought! Think its something to consider for sure. Would you say the same about K2 then as in base stock?
Its not true that PIB is blended into 2r because of inferior base oils, just as its not true that it's blended with K2 because of inferior base oils.
Pretty huge guess with out toxicity studies on each. Personaly I would be as concerned about the zinc content of 800 as I would PIB.
