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

[porsche965]

You have to admit Red Bull certainly has spent a lot of $ on chains and bars in testing, not to mention chainsaws, mainly 661s.

No doubt about that.

How about we keep this thread civil from here on out? And no mention of retiring at 38..we all have heard that one enough!

Correction, 37. And I'm proud of that And will agree if you will agree that Saber isn't just good for keeping dust down on a driveway lol

boat oil 32:1 aka schaeffers 7000 tcw3

this 661 has only been run on schaeffers 32:1 ...so this is after the first 6 tanks. Been cutting with a 30" tsumura .404 chain


ported 880 run on the schaeffers 32:1 12000 on the tach with a 6' bar

Ill effects or lack there of are only revealed over time. 6 tanks isn't much time at all.
I'm not pissing in your cherios, just raising the issue.

I'll have you know it works excellant for that purpose!
And I am sure you are proud, as you should be. Assuming you started from scratch, that's quit an accomplishment. However, no one wants it thrown in their face. And it's bad form to even mention in when your fighting on the Internet with people about two cycle oil.

If the 6 tanks were at WOT under load that is good enough to get an idea of how the saw is running IMO.

Wont tell you much about the long term effects of using a tcw3 marine oil. It's appears to me it's running on the rich side FWIW without seeing the crown.

I'm 38 and plan on working for at least another 20. I like what I do and I get bored easy. May never retire completely.

 

[porsche965]

When the success of oil brought my success in life it is relevant. And form? Do you think for one moment I care about what you, bwalker, thinks about my form on a forum? Not for an instant.

Now, how much Saber have you used on your driveway so I know how much a case of oil will yield? For dust that is.

Back to **** head mode...

Well i'm a long ways from retiring,[emoji2] im just gonna be an Operations Manager and run 6 different crews, so no more grunt work.

Back to oil[emoji23]

I show people that work hard how to retire a lot sooner than later. For free.

The Tree Service I cut for will do that before he is 45, maybe 48 at worst case scenario. Before I came along he was thinking how he was going to climb trees when he would be 60. There is a better way

True. But being a bit richer and coming from Tree Monkey one would think that longevity isn't a concern.

Interesting.

Longetivity won't be a concern for 99% of the people on this site. However, I can't see the reason for using an oil designed and formulated for marine use in a chainsaw. There are many fine air cooled oils out there. Why not just use one?

Agree.

 

[bwalker]

Agree.

In the same vain, I can't see the reason or advantage to running an oil designed to run at 100:1. I certainly don't see the attraction to using less lubricating oil in a total loss sytems that marginally lubricate anyways.
