Well I'll be honest I splurged... the BV Reserve was on sale for like like a dollar more than regular BV which put it right at $21 a half.
I only had 2 IPA's the fridge when I looked tonight and knew that wasn't going to cut it!!

Good on you! A guy needs to plurge once in awhile.

What ratio you mixing at?

 

[RedFir Down]

What ratio you mixing at?

1:1 usually. Unless a guy feels the need to richen it up a bit.

Yea but....that's no fun. Not nearly enough controversy for this crew.

Cooking oil is a good substitute for chain oil

Yup if everyone ran 40:1 we wouldn't have an oil thread with over 5000 posts.

Does the Sprite increase or decrease the viscosity going down?

Decreases. I doesn't burn as well but still does the trick.

Lol!! U had me confused!!! Of course that guy on here awhile back laughed because I tore my down to take a look!!! Said he ran his saws 10yrs and never saw the inside until he parted the saw out? Wonder why the saw needed parting out?

I did tear the 272 apart today. It did have a nice brown top already. I forgot a picture though

Do they use the XP blend oil in that?

 

[blsnelling]

I'm not a fan of Husky oil. None of their offerings are true synthetics. I've notices over time that the saws that I see running it are dirtier than others as well.

Took down a very large standing dead red oak today and another dead one that a storm took out. One was 38" DBH and the other 33". Used my stock 562xp with a 24" bar and 72LGX chain. Needless to say the saw was given a work out. Especially so given the fact I had to rip the rounds in half to make handling easier. Knowing I was going to load the saw up pretty good I decided to try K2 at 20:1. Worked like a charm and noticed no differance in engine performance, smoke ,etc.
The only thing thing I can complain about was the fact that the 562's oiler isn't adequate for a 24" bar and the saw was way under powered for a dense UP red oak of this size

Not sure. The bottle of XP oil do not carry the FD logo though.
