You really meant it that way? Too late to try backtracking now. Go back to sleep lol

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Some people want to know; no need to give it the 2-fingured salute because you're not interested; walk away. Thanks for souring the thread. Mull - just foxtrot oscar ok.

I've just received a load of bedtime reading from the Oil company whose oil I am a dealer for. I knew in the back of my mind that JASO FD spec was supposed to be higher performance than FC but apparently not necessarily... It comes down to basestocks vs additives again... and not just 1-2-3 as in Mineral-Semi Synthetic-Fully Synthetic. Wiki and BITOG will rightly tell you that FD is the same as FC with even higher detergency. Stihl HP Mineral (Red) for instance is JASO FB but ISO-L-EGD; talk about confusing; ISO-EGD is the roughly equivilent grade to JASO FD but the tests are different; some argue that one is more concerned with lubricity and heat and another ash content and detergency... Wierdly the next oils up Stihls pecking order (HP Super and Ultra) are both FD and EGD but semi and full synthetic respectively. I would expect Ultra to outperform Super despite the same ratings. Likewise Echo Power-blend is FD but "synthetic blend" whatever that means. Dolmar is certainly FD but Shavey will have to confirm whether it's semi or full syn. Anyway, some FC oils don't need to be FD certified since they have a superior basestock and therefore don't need the (FD) detergents; not all synthetics are the same remember

Yep. Half Neanderthal, half hippy, manual worker.

Another one for the off-road truck doubters: Spot the horrific H&S no-no tho!!! [ame] [/ame]

The 3rd dry-ish day since September 28th; oh my goodness it's hurting my mal-adjusted eyes..

Terry Wogan RIP

Yeah I was thinking of Vito...

What type of van is it?

I was a bit moody sorry, bear with a sore head this morning, no excuse.

Ok, send Comma an email asking if "recommended by Comma" means that the product they're suggesting does indeed meet or exceed those specs or if it's just BS?" Or maybe be arsed to go here?!

Perry Forestry might have some... or Max Bayles???

Think you need to read the label again...

I did plenty of 4-stroke engine tribology research back in the day; less so 2-cycle but the fundamentals of lubrication in wear and heat are pretty well documented; basestock first; additive after. There are lubes that major on the add pack because the basestock is so crap...

The OPs oil is better than Stihl HP and possibly likely better than the XP; Husq are sheepish about their specifiactions... hmmm

Good Jaso spec (D) on the bottle - comma is Esso - would trust that...

Every woodmans truck I know has the paint worn in the corners of the tub; where you put the saw on the lowered tailgate and put the bar nose in the corner. Then lean over the saw and sharpen away - will take photos...

You snow, we rain. Much prefer snow. Nice vid again mate thanks
