Surprised bwalker has not called you an idiotAmsoil 40 to 1 here for over ten years or more, no mechanical failures. Owner operator of a Tree Service 45 years.
I don't believe I have ever given him a reason too.Surprised bwalker has not called you an idiot
Saying you used Amsoil successfully would seem to be reason enough.I don't believe I have ever given him a reason too.
He is new and likely was unaware that this is a well covered topic. Now he knows.Amsoil saber 40:1 there is literally 300 million oil threads on here if you use the search bar
Probably true. Not easy to tell if the gas is bad, though. Smell gets bad eventually, but the gasoline has to be pretty bad for that to happen. I use StaBil, which seems to work out for me OK.I still say people should worry more about the crap fuel that's out there. It seems there are more failures due to gas than oil .

I said it before, I am not a post policeman/narc/ red flag sissy or anything, but the OP is new to the site. He may even be new to forums in general. If we treat his question like sarcastic jerks, he may just get a sour impression of Arborstsite.com.You might want to try a search. There are more oil threads on arboristsite than there are subatomic particles in the known Universe.

Calm down Nancy, I AM trying to help him...by suggesting he do a search. One simple search will find enough information to keep him reading for the next 36 months, plus we won't have to re-type the same crap we've posted 250,000 times already so far this week alone.I said it before, I am not a post policeman/narc/ red flag sissy or anything, but the OP is new to the site.
I know, and Like I said, Not being a Nancy, but how would a newbie know?Calm down Nancy, I AM trying to help him...by suggesting he do a search.

The OP might be a newbie to saws (I question even this, considering that he owns saws "20 to 30 years old"), but my hunch is that he or she is not new to the Internet. Coming onto AS and asking what oil to use -- without first doing a search - is like going onto a car repair forum and asking, HOW DO I CHANGE MY MOTOR OIL??? without first doing a search.I know, and Like I said, Not being a Nancy, but how would a newbie know?
No worries brother.The OP might be a newbie to saws (I question even this, considering that he owns saws "20 to 30 years old"), but my hunch is that he or she is not new to the Internet.

Considering that it's probably one of the most commonly-asked questions on the forum, not doing a search first is the equivalent of saying, "My time is more valuable than yours, so please explain it again for the 250,000th time this week, because I'm too busy to do a 5-second search."
I doubt the OP meant it to be rude, but that's how some people see it. Hence my humorous memes suggesting that a search might find some answers.
