So what's the current Two stroke oil favorite for

[North by Northwest]

this was a solder seal can with no bar code it must have been old!

Yeah that plenty old , kinda like me !

 

[bwalker]

That was my rationale as well.
First I have heard 2 cycle oil goes bad on the shelf...


So does 2 cycle oil have a shelf life?
I cant find a date stamp on anything I have.

If it's factory sealed I wouldn't worry about it.

The exhaust port looked much better than yours with much more hours.

And here is where I continue to struggle with the theme. Claims with no pictures. Scraping with a pick, which I have never done, produced very little carbon. Very little. So far every picture I have seen slamming stihl is one thats either been modified or running a heavier mix, or both. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but when one chooses to deviate from the manufacturers recommendations you are your own warranty station.

By now I am sure it seems as though I am a Stihl fan boy. Quite contrary. I am simply looking for real world results that I can relate to. And I'll gladly switch.
Until then, I'll just blindly continue to use what I use, probably for another 10 years.

My friends uses 50:1 and it did that to the echo what more proof do you want?

Should be noted this is a strato engine, runs hot and lean and I ran it hard. The motor got very hot while burning stumps and brush.
It ran perfect until I dropped a stump on it with an excavator while burning stumps.

Zenoah & Redmax started the strato technology , which eventually Husquarna acquired . The performance gains with the additional strato ports allows a much more efficient fresh air charge entrainment just a few degrees prior to the transfer ports cracking , this with the intake port opening allows a quick removal of exhaust gases to expedite the scavenging effect of fresh fuel into the cylinder . This additional air certainly does entail a leaner burn condition , which requires better jetting science from a non strato designs . Saw porting can really wake up a Strato saw increasing low rpm torque values with simple blowdown specs & duration changes during port & piston shaving ! Notable horsepower gains are easily attained also on high compression engines , using this strato recognized design perameters over conventional 2T engines !

Pretty easy to do your own test. Cut wood for a year running an oil that’s proven to work better at not building carbon and make your own decision.

My redmax from 2005 is a strato engine uses a double barrel walbro WYL carburetor with interesting cylinder porting.

OK. What do you recommend?
Hoping not Amsoil.

Echo red armor.

That's the additional Strato siamesed runner ports , enabling the more efficient engine breathing !

Hell yeah Dominator , all the way !

You safe bidder !

For starters a good oil will burn very cleanly at something like 32:1.
Modifying also tends take an engine easier on oil.

It is easier on fuel than my efco or echo i got mine tuned a bit richer to keep it cool but the carb is touchy and so is the engine.

Being I don't know your friend and his ability to competently mix gas and maintain a saw, I'd like a little more proof than the proof you are submitting.

Thanks anyway.

Amsoil works well fir keeping dust down on gravel roads...

Look at the photo steve wonder!

Yea, improperly mixed fuel..lol.
Still waiting on pics of your piston skirt and ring area.

Stihl fan boys and there all mighty ultra koolaid.

Not true across the board. At all.

Thank you! I do appreciate the keyboard warrior knowledge you present.
