@jaredlusignan141

4 жыл бұрын

Depends what your running it in and what your looking for. Slightly less oil in a motor especially one with a wet clutch can give you an ever so slight advantage due to less drag from the oil and less weight on the internal parts that are spinning around in there. This obviously has its disadvantages such as how fast the oil breaks down and becoming diluted faster from the fuel. Going extreme on the other side with too much oil can cause it to blow by into the cylinder or worse become hydro-locked or worse. i personally like to run mine right at the full mark because all engines burn/leak oil to some degree and i want to plan for it.

Great videos, you have a scientific approach when performing these tests, which I appreciate. Here is what I've found, in my experience: I've mixed my own 2 stroke gas for years, used many different types and mixed them precisely. Trimmers and chainsaws always gave off a fair amount of smoke with any brand, so I would lean out the oil/gas ratio, minutely,, incrementally...didn't make much difference. Weed trimmer lasts me 3 yrs tops, hard to start, run etc. Had to replace lines on the saw, ethanol rotted the lines.. After that, I started using pre-mixed ethanol free, it's expensive but the results were: smoke was reduced 80-90 percent. Starting improved dramatically and it just ran so much better, seemed as if it had a noticeable increase in power. Plus, no more ethanol to rot those hard to fish thru fuel lines. The saw, after 6 years will fire on 1st pull, 2nd or 3rd if she's cold, like winter cold...I'm sticking with pre-mix. . Again, no criticism aimed at anyone, just relaying my experience with pre mix.. Thanks for all the great videos!

This sounds like an awesome idea and I don't even live in Commiefornia. ...I think he's a bit far away though. Most northern states have a summer formula and winter formula gas, where the winter has more off-gassing than the summer formula since the cooler temperatures will reduce that. I also heard somewhere that California's winter mix is closer to a normal state's summer mix. Having visited California I literally noticed that the air smells and feels immensely cleaner than most other places. As a car-enthusiast all their regulations would certainly be annoying (and expensive), but as an asthmatic I feel like overall it's worth it. I want to go back.

Dear Project Farm would you please test the other types of Two-Stroke oils out there and talk about the effect that an FD rated oil would have vs FB rated oil and so on. Oils like red armor, husky, stihl, castrol and so on. Keep up the great work you are doing an amazing job.

People have told me their 80’s pumps going out when they made the diesel fuel with less sulfur.

@@ProjectFarm The one question I have on the rusting test is "how do you maintain the consistency of the spray". You do such a tremendous job of maintaining the scientific method and removing any human variation from so many of your tests but the velocity, angle, and amount of spray will vary significantly in your rusting spray test. (not that it matters in this instance, given the huge difference in rust) but I thought I'd mention it in the spirit of constructive feedback.

Thanks for the great content. I have seen a couple of tests on youtube including yours that uses the Amsoil Dominator but I am told that it is purposely designed for racing applications and can in fact leave more deposits than is desirable in more "normal" applications. If you do some future tests I would love to see the "Interceptor" oil from Amsoil to see if deposit levels are better.

I've been recommended this video for a couple of months and I finally got tied of seeing it, so I watched it! Great video and that generator test is the worst case scenario because you cannot give the cylinder a wash with the throttle like you do on power equipment. I swear by Amsoil and began using it about a decade ago in my Yamaha Superjet 700. The cylinders are pristine and ride solo, never have fouled the ski out once! Then I began running in my chainsaws and my dad began loving it in his Stihl too! It never fouls, ever! Started his 029 saw with an oversized cylinder from 25:1, 32:1, 40:1 and jumped up to 60:1 to test it! Back in the 90's, you could never get the parts easily and the saw shop modified his saw with a larger cylinder from another, larger Stihl to get it back to work. Settled it into around 46:1 to 50:1 and it keeps on keeping on with a Stihl that calls for 25:1 to 32:1 premix. Same cylinder with the same darn piston and it's been 20 years... It looks like fogged glass with zero marring. I've been reconditioning/rebuilding and recovering old saws lately, the Amsoil always works without fail on saws that used to throw a fit with fouling!

This is a very thorough test and had really well done results. There is an aspect of the two oils that needs to be addressed, and that is the flash points. The oils here are engineered for different purposes although it is applicable for air cooled 2 cycle engines. Lets use the examples of a chainsaw and a racing 2 stroke bike. During use, the engines are subjected to different heat cycles and torque moments. A chainsaw is MOSTLY used in a short burst then idle, short burst then Idle. Like when limbing a trunk. A racing moto bike is usually pegged at max rpm throuought the race. This is two different applications. The reason the high flashpoint racing oil stays "oily" and you can see the slick deposits is to provide lubrication during the extended high rpm time. In the chainsaw application, the same racing mix would allow the oil to be sent through the exhaust without being burned. The higher flash point oils are engineered for racing/extended top rpm usage and the lower flash point oils are for short bursts of WOT like limbing a tree trunk. If you are milling lumber from a trunk and running the saw at WOT down the trunk, then use a higher flashpoint oil for lubricity, but if you are mainly limbing or cutting regular size firewood then use the lower flashpoint oil. The difference is created ash during combustion. The lower flashpoint oil will ash and burn off the piston where the higher flashpoint oil will remain "oily" on the piston crown. When the piston goes through heat cycles it will turn the oil to carbon. During future heat cycles the carbon will flake off and get trapped between the rings and cylinder walls and this is where the scratches come from. These vertical striated scratches will allow more oil past the rings and compounds the carbon issue. You may need to match the oil in your mix to the usage. For example, if milling lumber with a saw, then use a stiff mixture of high flash point oil for long high rpm runs through the log, then, after several planks are milled, put 1/2 tank of lower flashpoint mix to "burn off" the excess oil in the combustion process and help clean the piston top of carbon. When this is empty then run a few more tanks of the stiff oil mix. Its true the oil is the life of your 2 stroke engine, but knowing the flashpoints and proper mix ratio will do a long way to maintaining a long and trouble free 2 stroke engine lifein whatever power equipment you are running.
