saber, professional synthetic 2-stroke oil, 2-stroke

 

 

Seem alot in the US are using this or other brands @ 100:1 ratio for 2 stroke all machines.

 

Think they would sell em in UK if they want 2 strokes to be more enviro as must cut emissions?

I use Red Line 2T oil and it does say on the bottle can be mixed at 100:1 . Not been brave enough to try though . currently happy with 50:1 .

It has been common in outboard boat engines for years ...but they are water cooled ...

No.  Had many years on 50:1 red,   would not risk a saw at 100:1 aircooling. K

And I think the 2t oil for outboards is no good for air cooled engines .

yes , that's why I mentioned it ....but years ago most were 25-1 !!  it just shows how oils / engine design have improved ..I guess the market for outboard engines and scooters / mopeds etc are bigger than for 2 stroke garden machinery ....in fact chainsaws are some of  the last remaining 2 stroke motors in regular use from new now

Both stihl and husky used to recommend 25:1 if you are not using their oils ..50:1 if you are ....? I think gonna stick to 40:1 ...ain’t let me down yet 

My cheapo tools, ie SGS and Hyundi are 40-1 so just do all my mixing at this.

husky recommend 30:1 on other makers oils, 50:1 on their xp stuff.  I couldn't find the dpec the xp stuff met nd suspect its no better, if as good as stihl green.  however, to be sure I went and bought some husky xp, and I mix at 40:1 with half stihl green, half xp.

I have heard loads of people praising amsoil/saber, but no I wouldn't go below 50:1
