@jaredlusignan141
@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.

@Bad Santa it's not just marketing hey, it really actually has been tested by third party ASTM methods as well. AMSOIL really does their homework to make the best oils they can. They use the best components which are often costlier, to formulate their oils to preform as best as possible, hence they cost more to buy. Kinda comes down to the old adage, you get what you pay for... Ya know

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

I worked at a motorcycle shop years ago, back when two-stroke engines were popular. We had different results with different brands of two-stroke oil. A good rule to live by: If it works for you, stick with it. I had a two stroke, two cylinder motorcycle which I rode hard, even touring half the United States. If a motorcycle manufacturer recommends a certain two stroke oil, stick with it. If you have oil injection, don't let the oil tank go dry. Currently I ride a four stroke four cylinder. Good test, Todd.

Honestly I swapped plugs late after doing that 4-5 times and the plugs were fine.

@@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.

G'day, Yay Team ! I had a few of those Gennys, the first one died early (after a month) and I returned it under Warranty, the second one I logged 4,200 Hours on, and the 3rd one was another dud like the first. The Design has a curious quirk, in that because Engine Speed is governed at 3,000 RPM for the 50 Cycle AC (here in Oz), that means the Cooling-Fan is ALWAYS delivering enough Airflow to provide sufficient Cooling Effect when the Unit is at Maximum Continuous Output (on a hot day)..., because such conditions must be catered for way, back at the Design-stage. However, this provision for hot-day full-power Cooling..., means that under ANY other conditions at all..., the Fan succeeds in profoundly Overcooling the Machine (!). The Exhaust Cannister and Engine-Pipe, in particular, suffer from this ; because the Unburned Oil in the Red-Hot Exhaust Gas condenses into Droplets on the inside of the relatively Cool Metal - and then the passing Red Hot Gas progressively carbonises the resulting Droplets of condensed unburned Oil... And, therefore, in the Operator's Manual it clearly suggests that complete disassembly and cleaning of the Exhaust System should be performed after every 100 Hours of operation..., using a 50:1 Fuel/Oil mix. I found that in my case, about every 150 to 180 Hours was a goodly interval, when using Penrite TSR-2...; for a very messy couple of hours, involving soaking the disassembled bits in Petrol, flushing, & poking around their insides with a ground-down Hacksaw-Blade and length of Fencewire - to break up interior encrustations. My guess is that most of these Generators provide about 5 hours of Power per day for 30 days of Vacations or Holidays - which takes longer than their 1-Year Warranty to achieve..., and then when they become hard to start and won't run a 300 Watt Hand-Drill, that's when they're, "declared to be dead" and replaced. Because almost nobody read the Manual to the end, and after a year they can't find it for consultation. Thus, somewhere the Factory is kept in busyness, churning them out, each for a brief little career of making Electrickitiez, before going straight on into Landfill. Also, their Exhaust will literally drip with Oildrops, and if you title-search my Videos for, "Refining Used 2-Stroke Oil...!" You should pull up some videos of how I cobbled up a Rig which permitted me to corner the Global Supply of Used 2-Stroke Oil...(!). I used the stuff for "Curiosity" Xmas Presents, in tiny little Bottles, for Petrolheaded friends within the Ultralight Hairygoplane fraternity. If offered one of those not-functioning Gennys for free, accept it, clean out the Exhaust ; and it will then probably be quite reliable..., but if it still won't go then it's probably not worth fighting with. Such is Life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

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!

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!

If it's been on the market I have used it. For the last 5 years I have used Amsoil Saber mixed at 80:1 in low octane none ethanol fuel it has the best performance, providing multiple year engine reliability! The one trick I discovered was to use a water separator filter on the output of nurse tank! I have close to zero carbon build up in exhaust ports!! Before the Amsoil and water separator it was a weekly maintenance thing with weed eaters cleaning the carbon out of ports!!

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.

I really like your channel. There is so much great content and I really respect you for not accepting sponsors and always being fair to all brands. I'd love to see an ATV oil test using OEM brands (ie. Yamaha, honda, polaris, Can Am,etc) vs other brands like Amsoil. Every manufacturer always wants us to buy their brand vs any other. I'd like to see if there is actually a reason for it or not. Thanks.

I run my own lawn care business and have noticed that when running echos red max after a cheaper 2 stroke oil a lot of oily residue will come out the muffler for a few tanks. Is there something in the echo oil that causes deposits to break down? Thanks for the great videos and keep it up!

What I see is interesting for "daily use" is that the Amsoil seems to leave behind more residue in the cylinder and on the spark plug, which is something that I think is more of a concern for many users where a long term use at moderate power output is an issue, like on mopeds but also on chainsaws. Soot buildup is often more of a problem on many of those engines than mechanical wear.

I don't understand your logic. Mechanical wear is removing layer by layer in the bearings and the bore, resulting in a total loss. Some buildup on the piston can be cleaned off if you absolutely want you engine to look spotless on the inside.
@arild1535
@arild1535 4 жыл бұрын
Bart Vranken well you do want the engine to be spotless inside, flow patters are extremely important in two stroke engines and any kind of deposit may affect that, you dont want the exhaust port to fill up with carbon deposits, and as long as your running an okay oil, right jetting and taking it easy, letting ur engine warm up but not get too hot you wont see that much wear inside the bore, theres people that have honed theyre cylinder and ran it for a long time to open it up and see no change to the original hone marks, and you dont plugs fouling up every other ride either, his logic makes very much sense

You are such a god send! I have been buying supertech 2 stroke oil thinking it didnt make any difference (i run rich and use a little more oil to make sure lubrication is never lacking) boy did i have no clue how dramatic of a difference it made! Love the videos and i watch every new item you test and some tests i have watched multiple times. It must get expensive purchasing all these products maybe you should consider allowing companies to give you products for purposes of testing, the way you show all your test setups and results would negate any idea of biases i believe, and you can always disclose this product was sent by manufacturer to be compared normal cost ××$ or something like that. Just an idea to save some cost on all these great comparison tests you do. Also its amazing how you can test just about anything it seems in such a thorough and precise way! Thank you for informing and educating me and so many others with your fun, entertaining and informative videos.

@@ProjectFarm amsoil salesman here, you were testing a racing oil against a regular service oil here, (dominator is amsoil's racing line) and the extra carbon buildup is full expected for exactly the reason the lab results showed, racing oils tend to have far less detergents as racing engines tend to be torn down and rebuilt long before deposits become an issue. Also as a suggestion can we get some testing between high zinc hot rod oils such as valvoline VR1 and amsoil Z-rod? You will likely have to order the amsoil but the valvoline should be available at your local O'Reilly's. I'd also like to see you test lucas 2 stroke oil versus the O'Reilly in house brand of master pro, both should be readily available on O'Reilly's shelves. I'd also like you to investigate the extended interval claims of amsoil signature series. If you get a chance.

Amsoil Saber is actually supposed to be used for this application. Dominator is for racing. Each oil from Amsoil is formulated for a specific use. If you use it for what's it was designed for it will blow away the competition every time. This is why Amsoil isn't sold in regular box stores. They want their oil sold by people that understand which oil is formulated for it's designed task.

Yeah windshield washer fluid is cheap, but I don't need it to be resistant to low temperatures in Hawaii. I tried using tap water and dawn dish soap which cleans well, but tap water and a bit of concentrated spray wax works well for beading rain. I get waterspots, but a foam pad and chrome polish takes care of it relatively easy. I also top up my reservoir with distilled water that people don't finish. Great idea for a video, I've spent some time thinking about this too!
