Oil/Fuel

[Blown67Sedan]

I did search and maybe I didn't search well, but I didn't see anything that specifically discussed this topic, in depth.
I'd like to start a (Civilized Lol) discussion about what brands, types and ratios everyone is running in their engines. Just to see what different things everyone is doing. I realize this is or can be heated topic. We all have our own way of doing things, and this isn't about who's right and what's wrong. I'm just curious to see what everyone is doing and what they're doing it on.

Here is a pretty good discussion on fuel/oil and ethanol.

I'm a lazy bastard. I buy Stihl branded oil in bottles to make 50:1 mix at 2-1/2 gallons. I pour it all into a 1-1/4 gallon can for a 25:1 mix.

Tell us what you are using and we will be sure to tell you that you are doing it wrong.

Subject has been beat to death with widely varied opinions. Do some more searching.

 

[Seandonato73]

Im with @misterleon I run trufuel and my oil is maxima castor 927@ 25:1 because the book said?‍...and when I took my cylinder off for the race ported swap I have to say i was happy to see oil. Castor 927 is excellent stuff

I think the best way to figure out what oil to use is find a member on here or your favorite forum that has a bunch of rigs that they actually use quite a bit and use what they use.Oil is a topic that comes up on Rc and Automotive forums quite a bit with crazy recommendations.

I used to use this in all my fresh builds on my racecar.Then ran Mobil1 after the engine was good to go and the rings were seated.

Thoughts on VP Racing 94 Octane ethanol free small engine fuel with Amsoil Dominator 2 stroke? Planning on running this in my stock Raminator engine.

97Ron fuel with Castrol Power 1 racing oil on a 25:1 mix

Thats exactly what I use and I have engines with a lot of fuel run through them. Its good stuff, but expensive. I have found tuning and just keeping the engine running smooth is easier with ethanol free. ? just don't make a real rich mix or it leaves deposits. Id stick to 32/1 or less.

Well, I'll be using Amsoil Dominator 2 stroke and VP HP100. Mostly because a close friend is a dealer for both and I get the GBD and I use MS109 in my '67 when it's set on kill, so. Lol.
I appreciate everyone who chose to share what they're using and how they're using it. That's all I was looking for... What you do. It wasn't meant to start any sort of arguments or criticisms. I'm very well aware of these types of arguments from being a apart of the automotive/hot rod community for over 30 years.
Myself, I'm always open to other's thoughts and opinions as I don't know everything about anything. Anyway, thanks again!

Think this was the most civilized oil discussion I've ever seen..?

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I plan to break in at 32/1 and then run it at 50/1 post break in.

It will go down in the history books ?

 

[Seandonato73]

I'm sure, and no one gave him grief about 50to 1. I'm amazed ?
