I grew up in the oil business so I won't name brands as everyone has there one. I have been running synthetic two cycle oil my saw's for thirty plus years. I have always mixed at 40:1 and never have burned a saw up. We do most of our sawing in the heat of the summer as that's when I have time to do it. After ever saw session the bar comes off and air filter off and the saw is blown off with compressed air. I keep my saws clean. They get blown off a little before the caps come off for fuel and oil when we are sawing.
