I'm not advocating this, but I use a 40/1 mix of TCW3 two stroke oil in all my small engines,except my Echo trimming saw, which is still in warranty. I had a couple gallons of Polaris synthetic snowmobile oil left over from my "P" days that I've used without a problem for at least ten years.I use in it my old Craftsman 20"chain saw which has a 16/1 mix, Stihl string trimmer 32/1, Homelite leaf blower 32/1, Echo brush saw 32/1 and McCulloch backpack blower 40/1, all with a 40/1 mix.The old chain saw actually runs better with the lean synthetic mix. Much less smoke, plug fouling and easier starts.
