AMSOIL 2 stroke oil bar chain oil
By: Chainsawrepair Date: July 2, 2011, 3:50 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Just wondered if any of the racers out there was using Amsoil
bar and chain lube and did they see any difference.
I had found out that some of the top hotsaws and stock
appearing saws were running it and had switched all my racesaws
over to it.
The stuff seems to be so thin to pour during winter or summer
and takes less energy from the saw to pump through. Also seemed
to really cling to the bar and chains.

I don't know myself .Amsoil in general at least in my opinion
has a lot of hype and hoopla behind it . There may be something
to it or not .
Bar oil in general speakng is nothing more than machine tool way
oil .In other words oil with a a tacking agent in it ( STP )
,kind of like smelly gear oil without the smell .You buy
something like Mobile Vacta which is Mil spec way oil you pay
through the nose for it .
Although nobody fesses up about it I do believe that "winter "
grade bar oil is just a thiner weight oil with a tacking agent
.

Just comparing some 2 stroke specs
Saber - Use in all handheld two-stroke equipment or other
applications that specify JASO FD
Viscosity:
100°C:
Saber (14.0)
Dominator (7.0)
Saber has significantly higher viscosity, especially at lower
temperatures, which suggests it provides better protection in
high-temperature applications.
Viscosity Index:
Dominator (166)
Saber (132)
Dom - maintains its viscosity best across temperature changes.
Pour Point:
Saber (-40°C)
Dominator (-54°C)
Dom - lower pour points, suggesting better cold-weather
performance.
Flash Point and Fire Point:
Saber (180°C/240°C)
Dominator (94°C)
Saber - has significantly higher flash and fire points,
indicating better high-temperature stability and reduced
volatility.
Conclusions:
Dominator: Designed for racing applications with good viscosity
at high temperatures. Its properties suggest it's best for
high-stress, high-temperature environments.
Saber: Highest viscosity and flash/fire points indicate it's
designed for extreme high-temperature applications. May be best
for commercial equipment or very high-stress environments.
Each oil has its strengths, and the choice depends on the
specific application, operating conditions, your budget, and
equipment requirements.
