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

[Trx250r180]

What you want to know John? I ran almost 2 liters of the stuff last summer and into winter.

I got to burn 2 tanks in an 044 with Mobil. Seems to have the least smell of anything.

That is what i noticed too almost no smell

I view the milling guys like mdavlee as the most intense proving grounds for oils. Thanks Mike. Good to know.

Just your thoughts on how well (or not) the Motul 800 off road worked would be appreciated .

Does anyone have any current up to date reports on Motul 800 Off Road to share?

Yep, my supplier has drop the price by $3- per litre!

been running motul 800 lately...

It was only 1 second slower dropping down to 32:1 from 45:1. Unlike h1r which gained (was slower) about 7 seconds dropping down to 32:1.

Anyway so I have been running 40:1 800 off road in the 660 for some recent tests. Like what I see

800 works great on saws worked hard. The 550 would have some sponge at 32:1. It was never buried in long cuts either. I ran 2 gallons of fuel mixed at 25:1 with 800 and it did fine. It is top 3 oil I've used. Just wish it was cheaper. It can be used at very cold temperatures and R50 isn't recommended below 20 if I remember right.

That's a real nice, wet coat of oil.

2800 idle - 13100 top

Did some testing, after running hard, I let the saw idle for about 30 seconds to cool down, way I always do it. Pulled the muff. Would it look like that if I just shut the saw off? I don't know. The key is, I always pull the muff after cooling the saw the same way. To me that looks pretty damn good. Night and day difference vs lucas 32:1. H1r looked like that at 42:1 but it runs slow.

Been really happy with this stuff!!!

All saws run good on it, smell is there but not offending to me.

Still got to do a tear down on the 7900 for giggles

My h1r was real wet like that at 32 to 1 also after i mill some more with the mobil ,i will check in there see if wet ,i have tuned rich for the milling ,i let idle to cool down after a long pass also .Almost used a 1.25 gallon can up milling so far .

I'm jealous of the softer woods. I got 3 slabs for 1.5 gallons of fuel one day.

Lets ask why?

Minus the smell for some users.... I think it is competitive with 2R

I have no opinion on 2R yet though

I'm not really worried about why....AS Is kinda like the Pied Piper[emoji1]

Both seem to work and coat well, 2R is a synthetic blend and HP2 is a full synthetic, both priced the same. I'm not sure one is better than the other.

 

[nitehawk55]

I've got some 800 mixed at 45:1 , I'll see how it looks but that 40:1 looks good

Never heard anything negative about Hp2. Never played with it much because the smell is nasty. In the late 80's,early nineties it's been said that team Honda Mx ran yam 2r poured into honda bottles.

Ran R50 in my EHP 7900 when the temperature was down in the low teens a few times, seemed to work just fine. Now straight up R50 will get really thick in those temperatures, but when it's mixed with fuel, I don't think it would ever be an issue.

Again if Mobile was available that's what I'd run, but it's not, so for me it's K2 or R50. Still running Yamalube in my blowers and trimmers, we'll see how that goes.
