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

[bwalker]

I'm considering those "near catastrophic" events where only the absolute best oil would protect. Would that not be an ester based oil? I'm not talking everyday use where there are no special demands.

Castor or castor blend.

Castor or castor blend.

Which is why I run 927 in my piped saw. And ester oils are the next best protector behind castor.

A piped saw isn't really highly loaded.
I think it's more like castor has the highest flame temp followed by everything else.. and not all esters are great. Redline for example sucks in a variety of ways.

It appears to me that high flash point goes with high viscosity. The highest numbers go to R50. Next is Motul 800 Road Racing, then Motul 800 Off Road, then H1-R.

I'm wondering if there would be much difference in the cleanliness of the two Motul oils, with perhaps the Off Road having stronger detergents to keep power valves clean. Does that even matter? I'm thinking Motul 800 2T Road Racing might be my next oil to try.

Edit: I just bought a liter.

You wanna compare findings.... I have both as of today

Shoot Ronnie a PM Randy! He has a guy that works with him in EPA/DEQ that was an engineer for one of the big oil companies. He can tell u the most important things to look for

Now why would you use an oil that fits the application?

How does Lucas smell?

That is very important to me.

I think Brush Ape used to run Lucas ,He gave it a good review . Only if they did not ban him ,he could chime in on this ,the guy has a lot of saw r&d under his utility belt .

It doesn't really have a smell.

 

[Mastermind]

Perfect.

 

[KG441c]

Lucas is only 9.99 a quart and I think 29$ a gallon on Amazon

 

[KenJax Tree]

O'Reilly's has it for the same price, but they don't carry the gallon jugs in the store but can have it in 1 day.

 

[KG441c]

If I ran alot of oil myself in a business the Lucas would make alota sense! U can get the Yamalube 2r for 11.16 qt if you buy 6

[KenJax Tree]

The price is cheap but its damn good oil.

 

[Mastermind]

I'll try Lucas next.
