Sthil powerblend at 32:1 in the work saws. Maxima 28:1 in the race saws.
 
Citgo air cooled 2 cycle semi synthetic

I use the above at 32:1 in all my saws! Even the old Homelites. As long as the carb is set pretty close to good, they don't smoke hardly at all! Once in a while I use MObil racing 2T. But I think the Citgo is a very good oil! I got some on Sale at FLeet Farm last Sunday for 2.19/ Quart on sale. That's pretty cheap!

I know I run rich at 32:1, but with as many mosquitos around me when I cut, I don't mind the extra smoke to help keep the swarms away.

lol - is that the best fish can do anymore - what? no facts like before - oh thats right there never was any...

motul800 at 40:1 for me and mx2t at 40:1 works awesome as well - clean ports...love it
 
Running Great

I use Quick silver Multi -use oil. Have been for years. Been mixing 50:1 and now went to 40:1 never had a problem.
 
I've been runnin husky xp forever.
Switched to echo oil and have toasted 2 saws since.
Asked the guy at the saw shop about echo oil.
He said its made at the same factory as the husky xp oil.
The two oils look very different to me .
Is that guy right about the factory , or full of BS?
