If someone was new to 2strokes, and read this thread front to back, they would be more confused than had they just read the owners manual and started cutting.

Can sum up and end every oil thread with one line: Echo red armor 50:1
with ethanol free fuel, of course

The Powerblend is a stout oil !
The amount of residual oil Red Armor is amazing. No reservations running it at 50:1 and probably would not go over 40:1.
What is the relative density & viscosity of Red Armor vs Saber ?
I don't know.
So I'll stir the pot. What makes the red armor so much better then the hp+/redmax?
Seems we all can agree they are all great oils, but the red armor keeps popping up as "the best" or "better then" other highly rated oils.
Feeble minds want to know...

Ok , my slant all quality oils , the thing that that separates Red Armor in my opinion is its ability to coat the metal surfaces thoughly . I call it film strength or ability to adhere well . Even so , it mix's well stays in suspension & tends to burn completely within the mix leaving no or little deposits anywhere within a properly tuned saw . Previously the price point was its only down side . If the pricing indicated by or forum member is correct its a slam dunk , I'll buy a gallon or two lol.So I'll stir the pot.

Yeah his pricing is correct, I have, had it saved for some time in my Amazon list, it hasn't gone up in price yet. The redmax has started going up.
I'am buying a Gallon tommorrow . P.S. How bout them Steeler 's 20 - 18 win over The Brady's Bunch ! 
So you may find this hard to believe, but im not much into sports. I couldn't tell you how any ball team is doing lol.I'am buying a Gallon tommorrow . P.S. How bout them Steeler 's 20 - 18 win over The Brady's Bunch !
That's ok , your Steelers from Pittsburg did quite well brother ! I was a sports fanatic not so much now either , way to many teams in all the various Major leagues . Anyhow , that pricing on the Redmax & Red Armor is fantastic , I seriously will check out the Red Armor if its still at $50 that OM617YOTA advised , I need a gallon for when Kevin ports the new Dolkita .
I have no interest in doing so. If you do have at it.
The reason why is It just doesn't matter much to me.
That's my opinion too.
I've never seen any two cycle oil coat the bottom end like Red Armor. And I've observed than a few!
I think I found what I needed , it was more specific gravity at a specific temperature vs viscosity & flash points again at specific temperatures , no biggy answered my own question , not the 1st likely not the last
Red armor is $3.50 here after tax for the 2.6 ounce bottle.
Pretty steep price. If buy online if I wanted it.
Nothing is cheap these days.
The ace hardware brand low ash oil sold in the quart bottles is good stuff but you won't see any certifications on it it cost $10 per 32 ounces.

Ace hardware is pretty expensive on a lot of stuff.
I did see 2.5 gallon jug of mystic bar oil for $24 today at a local farm store.
$10 per quart on two stroke oil is good in my opinion for my area. it averages at $40 per gallon and performs the same as power blend oil.
