Is it chain/bar oil or 2 stroke mix? ( never noticed bar oil been referred to as synthetic, more a 2 stroke thing)

 

I would happily mix bar oil no probs, I'll put almost anything throu 

( and can remember when many woodcutters used waste engine oil but u had to remember to fill every half tank off fuel)

 

And to be honest I also mix 2 stroke mixes, if I didn't have enough to make a Jerry can up. I do usually buy a decent brand synthetic mix thou.

Forest plus is mineral based oil,
Synthplus is a semi synthetic made oil, i wouldnt mix them personally, i’d just use them up one at once.
As i understand, if you mix mineral and synthetic oils together then generally they will always revert to the lowest grade, i.e mineral and you will lose lubrication qualities as a result.

If the world's ended it won't matter about the future generations, I say use the oil and damn the consequences. As long as it pumps through it will be ok.
