So what's the current Two stroke oil favorite for

[huskihl]

Yeah run it in my 4-mix for 5 yrs . at 50:1 . Still required decarboning at valve lash adjustment intervals . I switched to Amsoil Sabre same ratio awesome results . I might try some Dominator & Interceptor , since its a power broom application , which is in winter hibernation lol

I think you’ll be surprised. You’ve been lead to believe that Dominator is dirtier burning than Saber and that’s not the case from what I’ve seen. Even at 20:1 in a saw, Dominator burns clean. I’d use it at 50:1 with no worries

I am sure they do but i don't recommend there oils for a lawn boy even though lawn boy engines spec a ashless oil of tcw3 quality.

Yeah , like I said previously do not have any hands on experience with Schaeffers products . Have had many Lawnboy C & D Series & a M-Series that I still currently run via Premix for the last 5 yrs Injector delete . Quality TCW-3 all their lives , go figure outboard motor oil " If in its not broken don't fix it " . P.S. pun intended !

Here is what 958 hrs of run time looks like on a Efco DS 2400 that has ran on super tech air cooled mixed at 32:1 for almost three years i use 87 E0 compression is still close to 150 lbs

Yeah 50:1 is my ratio in conventional saws . However I usually go 44:1 in my Ported Prograde or Milling application units . I will take you up on the Dominator challenge brother . I have never said never , so a test is likely in order since I still have a few bottles of Dominator on the shelf for the Can-am ....I'll let you know @ 50:1 & 44:1 Cheers !

I plan on trying that interceptor this spring when my work starts back up. A quart of interceptor at rural king is 12.99 but a quart of saber or dominator at the local stealership is 32.99 here.

I got a C10 lawn boy engine in the shed i run it on 16:1 a good skeeter killer but runs the best and cuts well.

4oz per gallon is easy for me to mix from the sight window in a quart jug, so 32:1 is what they all get

I get my oil from either True Value hardware or the Yamaha dealer here in town. They’re about $12 per qt for dominator and saber

I got a 4 gallon case of the old formula echo red armor that i plan to use as well four 1 gallon bottles

local echo / husky dealer here charges $5 for a 2.6 ounce bottle of saber and 32.99 for a quart which i thought was highway robbery.

I’d use that stuff if I had any. Pretty pricey to buy nowadays. They used to put the little 6 packs on sale which made it considerably more affordable

 

[jellyroll]

My friend gave me a stihl fs55 that was running poor and was a little low on compression from sticky rings he ran ultra since new. I ran echo red armor mixed at 50:1 in it and after each tank it ran better and better.
I ran better than 5 tanks per day for 6 months through it and here it is as of now.

I bought it at a dealer close out sell $35 per gallon. I mostly use super tech oils because i use so much mix per week.

@huskihl I think i will have to give the super tech syn a shot it only cost a little more than the normal stuff i use.

MS362c shipped to me for port work. He runs 100ll and Red Armor at 40:1. It sat in the box for a couple weeks and this is how it looked when I removed the cylinder. I’ve never seen so much residual oil from another brand

Their air cooled full synthetic is very good

Yes you are right usually it is some here and there but my god that thing looks to be dipped in oily goodness.
I know my echo dealer told me the Power Blend line of oil has been reformulated as well to help remove more deposits for the engine it is called Power Blend Gold instead of Power Blend X

Casting a vote for Red Armor. Always had good luck with it in anything including saws.
