How I baby my 2 stoke motors.... 30-1 instead of 50-1

$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.

Redmax oil is only slightly more expensive and it's actually Jaso FD certified.
You have any Citgo stations where you live. Citgo air cooled is certified and good stuff as well.
I actually tried to run some non certified low ash oil made by the company I work for. I could tell it was garbage pretty quick. I just don't trust cheap oils that are not certified.

No citgo stations here only Shell, Marathon, BP, and Sunoco.

40:1.....they're either gonna smoke, or scream.

40:1.....they're either gonna smoke, or scream.

Or 25:1 per stihl. Lol

Imagine some poor S.O.B. who's new to 2-stroke saws reading 12 pages of this and trying to make sense of it....lol.

Who is starting these oil threads? Is it Russian bots? North Korea? The "Green New Deal" people?

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.

Yeah Mystik $7.00 a gallon @ Blaines farm & fleet so $21 for 3 gallons + Tax Never tried it but Ben swears by it , so can 't all that bad .

Do you rinse out the pre measured bottles to get every last drop? otherwise your not getting a true 40:1 ratio.

That's why I'm mixing 40:1 instead of manufacturers recommended 50:1. Even then I don't put the full 2.5 or 5 gallons in. Also add a few ounces of sea foam additive. The newer computerized carb saws are literally melting a hole in the top of piston because to pass C.A.R.B. EPA the manufacturers have them set to run super lean on recommended 50:1 mix.... my buddy had 2 ms201s do this in 3 weeks of usage... he found aftermarket adjustable carbs, replaced the piston/ring's,honed out cylinder, did some porting and canceled out the computer...they rip now...

If you have a Wilco farm store in the area, they used to carry Citgo lubes. Not seeing Citgo stuff on their website anymore, worth a call before going in.

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 .

It's gone up, $210 for 4 gallons now. That pricing only works at 4 gallons, not one gallon.

Edit: I mis-remembered, price hasn't gone up. It was $210 for 4 gallons of Red Armor when I posted the link.

Citgo and Mystic are the same product. Might be easier to find. Here at the co-op, a few years ago I bought a gallon of Citgo Sea and Snow FD rated oil for $23. I’ve seen it advertised as Mystic in Meijer and the tractor supply type stores

I used many gallons of that stuff in my last sled and that damn thing ran at the equivalent to 20:1.
