Not another oil thread !

Trying to clean up and not spend a lot ! I mix the ratio were there was oil coming out the muffler .Never will mix it that rich again .50 to 1 is more than needed . After running shell for years that worked .Just don't like looking at pistons that have black lung . This is the first try Lucas 2-Cycle Land & Sea Oil TC-W3 : Lucas Oil - Lucas 2-Cycle Land & Sea Oil TC-W3

Where is the oil question? Or are you just thinking and typing??? :msp_confused:

I think he wants to know what mix ratio and oil to use to clean up his saws? otherwise I think he may have had one too many beers, so I envy him.

Lots of cutting on land for me, but none at sea.

I thought OPE manufacturers didn't recommend any TCW for their saws?

Seems that the Lucas oil in question is Semi synth blended for use in watercooled 2t motors,not the best choice IMO for air cooled motors in saws & the like. I would chose a Full synth blended for Air cooled motors or use the oil recommended by the saw manufacturer But as in the other oil threads chose & go with what suits you as every one has their own take on this subject The bottom line is always USE SOME OIL IN THE GAS

+1. You are supposed to run oil meant for an air cooled 2 stroke, not for outboards. If you aren't looking for one endorsed by a saw manufacturer, Amsoil Saber is good.

I use this one at 45:1 and have not had any problems the only dislike is that when mixed it isn't very blue.

I certainly agree with that. They should put strong dye in all 2 stroke oil, so there is no doubt the gas is premix, especially at the 50:1 or higher ratios where the oil is so diluted, the color is hard to see. A single mistake can be very costly!
