They have it for $25 for 3l and $40 for 5 l I think it is.

I think it will sit on the shelf at that price that's very expensive

Which is exactly what it is for....and its shelf life is almost 5 years I think. ..

Not sure.

Yes it is. But for the very part time user it could be a Godsend.

I never run my saws at 50:1 though so it wouldn't be much good for me main bearings run to dry over extended time Iam a 32:1 man

Yup I hear ya. I am a 25 to 30:1 man. [emoji106]

I was always the same Vince cause of the oils we had to use, but now they are leaps and bounds ahead and I've moved to 40:1 or a tad less, but I'm not running 25:1 anymore...

The Oz Racing number I've got at 40:1 with the Oz HP Ultra oil.

Not sure.

2 year shelf life once opened. My container has an expiry date on it. I'll have a look and see what it says. Good thing is those containers fit the Stihl auto poor nozzle

 

[bennn*e]

Looking at that date I would say it's date of manufacture I recon. Ran some in my 201 t cm, smells like nothing you've ever used

That'd be a cheap way to get a 5l auto stop fuel can and get 5l of fuel free, right?

 

[chippy]

Vince, try adding Gelatine Crystals to that motomix stuff....lots of them.

I think you will find you will end up with something that resembles Napalm.

Videos please

Not sure why they call them Longhorn Beetle? I think somebody may be dyslexic as they're actually called Longicorn Beetles The perfectly rounds holes early are more than likely Longicorn larvae bore holes. Got similar holes in piles of Sugar Gum I have here. The larvae are generally yellow with a black head capsule.
Slowly catching up on posts I've missed. Been busier than a one legged man in an arse kicking contest...

 

[MCW]

Me too, the ones I've seen in the past were around 5mm diameter, no were near 20mm. I'm in South Oz

Whoops. If it's a 20mm hole then it ain't a Longicorn Beetle larvae!

Yeah I guess I could bump it up a bit but have been running that across the board for the big and old saws. I am tuning with a tach and test cuts and tune to suit tho.
