Best 2stroke oil for sled and auger

[Cold lake guy]

So many choices out there just wondering if ya all using opti universal? I’ve been using my stihl small bottle mix from the summer in my Eskimo seems really like it

[YeeHaw]

I Personally like the Amsoil Saber for my auger and light equipment. Though there is absolutely nothing wrong with Opti

I’ve always used opti before this year in my jiffy but seemed to idle high after a few holes almost like it was running hot...Eskimo on stihl no issues

[lmtada]

I use stihl or Yamaha R.

Been using the opti2, like I mix one jcan for all tools, chain saw, auger, weed eater, blower...2 yrs now no issues....

Quality gas would be more important than oil.

I have been usin Opti in all my 2 stroke toys for many years. Drop 1 packet of oil in a 1 gal jug and put it in any toy that you own. Runs clean, low smoke to none, stabilizer built in too. I use it in auger, weed wacker, chain saw, back pack blower all year long. And to add use ethanol free gas too. Shell premium around here.

Opti-2 hands down

[Double-Eh]

Opti or Ams

Ok opti for the win....how about the sled is cheap Castrol as good as the expensive synthetic? I’m talking hobby guys not the trappers and survey guys but hey chime into!

2 stroke mix oil functions best when its flashpoint is paired with operating temperature of the machine its being used in. Too low, and its burns off of the piston crown and damage can result. Too high and it makes sludge in the exhaust. The best is to run a 91 octane fuel without ethanol and a good synthetic mix oil. Pair this for your sled and the auger will work fine with it. I run Motul 700 and 99 octane race fuel, but 91 ethanol free should be more than fine.

I put 10,000 miles on tundra 550. Using Canadian tire two stroke oil cheapest stuff I could find. I sold it this winter an it runs perfect. Lots of real heavy loads an deep snow where I trap, also the last two seasons had my 15 year old son holding it to the bars the whole ride. I think I had 6000 km on a scandic 500 same oil no issues.

Also most of the time it had purple farm fuel in it.

I run Stihl oil in my small engines. No starting or running issues in 8 years. As far as my sleds I always had doo's, manufacturers oil is always what I used but more importantly do not switch back and forth with others. That is what I believe can cause issues down the road. Just my experience.

[South west trappin RG]

With switching back an fourth same sleds if I had forgot oil on the way out I would put gas station two stroke oil of what ever they had. Just saying

[fordtruckin]

For my snowmobile I always use the factory oil. Yeah it’s more expensive but I figure for how much those machines cost it’s cheap insurance. If something goes wrong they can’t say I was using the wrong oil since it’s always been the factory AC, Poo or Doo oils respectively.

I was wondering the same thing. Took a trip to Home Hardware and came home with some trufuel instead.

X2 on the Amsoil Saber. I mix it with premium and some seafoam, little smoke and works great In my auger and other seasonal equipment....

[CNP]

a 2 cycle oil that includes fuel stabilizer in it...

[Puma]

Opti2 and premium fuel in all my 2 strokes for , well, more years than I want to admit.

In my auger I have ran exclusively Aspen two stoke fuel which is already mixed and has a 3 year shelf life and have no complaints at all. I do not drain it over the summer although I will periodically fire it up when I see it sitting in the garage. Too expensive to run in a sled but I think it is worth it for an auger.

I use the trufuel (same type of stuff) and wont ever mix gas for an auger again.

[gordfishing]

Premium Gas and Stihl is best
