Chainsaw gas:oil mixture ratio

[anlrolfe]

That's cute, read the complete Amsoil warranty as to what isn't covered.
They're double talking you.
"deny warranty coverage based solely on the brand of lubricant used" doesn't say anything about mix ratio or 3rd party empty promises.

READ, this is the important stuff, the rest is fluff.

I'l go with federal law

 

[Justin Hopkins]

Plus how old is that?

 

[anlrolfe]

That warranty is current on the Amsoil website.
https://www.amsoil.com/warranty/
Your screenshot has the deflect about Federal law and brand of lubricant.
Nowhere does the official Amsoil warranty say anything about honoring damage at other than OEM mix ratios, just fluff in the advertising.

Bottom line use what you want use what works for you. I'e used it for years no mechanical failure that' all I need to know. If it didn' work I would have found out by now. 11 chainsaw running strong plus other equipment.

I just messaged them again we will see what they say.

 

[Justin Hopkins]

Look up their own YouTube video. Even says it can be used at 100 to 1 in a 20 to 1 electric motor.

 

[Justin Hopkins]

Use what u want!

 

[anlrolfe]

Yup...

I'm confused, if I run 100:1 in my stihl 051 and it burns up a set of rings they will send me a brand new 051? I didn't read any of the pics posted lol. That's how warranties go though "use our stuff and if it fails we will buy you a new one." Then you read the small print " we wont buy you a new one, its somehow your fault."

I'm just messing around like the op said use what you want. It works for him and I'll double his mix for myself.

 

[Justin Hopkins]

It says it want cover prior damage. Remember old saws took 32 to 1 then 40 to 1 then 50 to 1.

 

[Mustang71]

And that's y I run 40:1. You had asked about a 70s mccoulloch. I'm not going to mix 3 different cans and try to use each one for the right saw.

 

[Deleted member 117362]

That's because saws now must meet EPA regulations, or you would still be seeing 32:1 and 40:1. But as you said run what you like. It's your saws.

 

[Justin Hopkins]

If I told my grandfather I was running 50:1 he would probably say I was nuts. His old homelite I believe said 32:1.

This issue will never be resolved. There are numerous threads on this subject and no final answer has ever been arrived at. The best answer is as said many times use what you are comfortable with and as long as you don't damage your equipment you are good to go.

I've been through it with customers trying to claim on amsoil multiple times. They don't pay and won't pay. We're not talking on old broke down crap. New stuff. Less than 50 hours on it.
