I have been using Amsoil Sabre and the older Amsoil 100:1 oil that became Sabre for many years. All my engines including my lawn equipment and airplane motors have needle bearings. I run it at 75 or 80 to one. One of my weed wackers from 84 and still runs fine. I wonder if running Saber at such a rich oil mixture contributes to more deposits?
I have been told by a DA employee that running Amsoil at a greater then the recommended 100:1 ratio, leads to very hard carbon deposits, and that too many people were doing exactly that, and that is why they stopped recommending it. Amsoil Sabre should ony be used at 100:1 ! They now advise using Red Line or Stihl at higher ratios.
Do mean higher by going from 40:1 to say 60:1 ?
