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

[Justsaws]

Was something in the flywheel,rollef it clockwise was stuck ,counterclockwise whatever was in there fell out

Probably just some HR1, that stuff hates flywheels and loves counterclockwise.

Honda is a quality company. Can't imagine anything with their name on it not being good.

But so is stihl, its a quality company, and there oil has been tested and designed in house by stihl.... Makes sense to me. I even run it in my huskys

How many people on here have actually blown up a saw due to an oil related failure?

Only PIB and solvents will melt a saw down.

I'm out of oil so now what do i buy?[emoji1]

I'm very happy with Super m. Runs good doesn't smell bad and reasonably priced

I thought PIB was the way to go?!?

What about BENOL, I hear all the PSP's are using it.

I asked that about 200 pages back....but added at 32:1. I know several Loggers with engine failures (lower end bearings) mixing 50:1. Failures were less than 6 months with pro stihls and huskies (440's & 372's). Longevity increased when mixed at 40:1 and 32:1.

I have always ran 32:1 and have never had a saw fail.
Kind of a meaningless question as most on the this site never put many hours on their saws.

Yeah, that was my point.

Loggers, tree service, and milling operators use more fuel in a week than most of use do in a year. Input from them wouldn't be meaningless. Since no response was given ANY premix at 32:1 would probably be adequate.

Except there isn't a lot of those guys on this thread..
Just look at the pictures of saws posted here. Most look as if they haven't been ran for even a week in the woods!
I had guys making fun of my well used EHP 346 when I posted a pic of it.

They only made fun of you because its you ............................... the one who allways makes fun of everyone elses "prissy" looking saws

Quite honestly, I couldnt give a rats rear end what you or anyone think about how much or how little I run my stuff, or how ugly or prissy they do/dont look.


I do, however, appreciate your knowledgeable input in this thread .............. the last of my Bel Ray is just about done running through the lawn tractor.

You missed the point.
The point is most of the people on here accumulate very few hours in a year.
The guys that do put alot of hours in a year often don't gave a shat about oil. As such asking about oil ratio is almost meaningless.
FWIW a know of one logger that runs Walmart SuperTech outboard oil and has for years. He also doesn't measure how much oil he puts in a cab, just dumps it in till it looks right. Most of his stuff runs along time, but he has lost some too. All the motors of his I have seen torn apart look terrible.

NOW you tell me ........................ You could'nt have told me earlier ............ so I would'nt have had to read all 317 pages, eh ??

True, the ones I know use the cheapest gas (87 octane with ethanol) and use the Stihl orange bottle or ultra. They say, "as long as it works thats all that matters".

I think my 660 gets the most use of my collection ,even if it is a weekend warrior saw . It is full use on the mill .There is not a tree around here a 440 wont cut so no need to pack the extra weight around for falling and bucking .
