What Oil?

[beyondhelpin]

Its that time of year for a lot of us. I use Valvoline Racing 10W-30. What oil does everyone else use?

[Throttle]

[beyondhelpin]

This is a boat forum isnt it? Just wondering what everyone uses in their chainsaws.

Swepco 20-50

I use the Mercruiser oil. Change it twice a season.

Mobil 1 v-twin 20/50. The best stuff on the planet. It has a higher flash point than any other oil on the market as well as anti shear and anti wear additives that no other oil contains, period. Do search on OSO and you'll find some interesting reading if you are serious about this topic.
Here's just one of the hundred or so threads you can find on oil from OSO.

Any good synthetic straight 40 weight.

In my car boats, and my truck, I've always run Valvoline Racing 20W-50 and have had great luck with it. :D

I must be old school. I dont use any synthitcs. Cant even spell it!

[Dusty Times]

Amsoil

40wt during the summer or as soon as temps get in the upper 90's, after labor day change to 30wt for the cooler winter months.

I don't use synthetic either. It's a waste of money if you change your oil all the time.
People who know use Valvoline. :D

[HocusPocus]

i don't know.. whatever my brother in law uses in his when i borrow it. :)

[Not So Fast]

Straight 40 wt, non racing, every 30 hours or so. Ususally twice a year and complete service once a year, impeller and drive alignment without a doubt :D NSF "UNLUCKY BOLTZ"

[2Driver]

for the most part..oil is oil.
You can tell a commodity by the amount of BS marketing surrounding it. About as big a difference a bottle waters.

[76ANTHONY]
