New Auger Oil

[racing]

I am going to buy a new auger and I was wondering if Amsoil Sabre Pro. is the oil to use and what mix ratio do you use?

[Esox_Magnum]

Break it in with whats recomended then switch to Amsoil, I run my Nils at 80-1 with the Saber oil. What are you getting? Might see you on the ice this winter we don't live far apart.

[cold one sd]

I would use the Saber mixed at the ratio recomended by the manufacturer for the first season and lean it out to about 80:1 next year. I have been using the stuff for about 8 years mixed about 80:1.

[fishwater]

I heard the new solo motors are expected to be run at 50:1 or less (more oil.) 2 year warranty too...

[turbo5oh]

might be a dumb question but what sabre is everyone using? the one for outboards is supposse to burn better on cold running engines like outboards. but the other is for all other small 2 strokes

[JOHN T jr.]

For your auger you need to use the "SABRE PROFESSIONAL"....

Rotella "t" work wonders. No Joke!!!

[gritsnham]

Amsoil! Just switched last year and my engine seems to run a bit better and the smokeless factor is nice also I would go 80:1

[bgreen82]

so if i have my mag2000 going into its 2nd year, and i used manufacturer oil all last winter, the switch to amsoil pro is good this year? and at 80:1? if so what would the easiest way to mix at 80:1 be? how many ounces in a 1 gallon tank.

[Esox_Magnum]

I use the pillow packs 1 pack for .8 gal of gas.

IDK, Rotella "t" is the bomb!

rotella salesman or what, you just said that 2 posts ago.

[gritsnham]

Bgreen the easiest way is to use the packets otherwise go with the bottle and the measuring is fairly easy to figure out. I switched over my strikemaster and so far have loved the results

[Ryan84*]

no , i was jk. i use rotella in my 300i6 f-150 (great stuff), but in my nils it's amsoil saber pro 80:1. That has worked great for me. sorry had a few with my buddies.

easiest way to mix is buy a ratio rite, or other brand mixing chart cup. has lines on the side of container showing all the mix ratio's for 1 gal, 2, 3, and 5 gallons of gas. just find your mark on the ratio rite, fill oil to the mark and then pour into gas can. then you are exactly 100 percent accurate. Sabre oil is made by amsoil. Saber is made for smaller two stroke engines and is smokeless. its the best out there and your auger pistons will not wear at all. the bottle says you can mix at 100:1, i only do that in march if temps are in the 40's or more, other wise like every one else said 80 to 1. The manufactures say 32 to 1 or 50 to one on a few, because they want you to run their crappy oil.

[trapperdirk]

I run Amsoil Sabre or Opti 2 in all my two stroke gear at 100-1 or so . I have for many years now without issue in my Jiffy and my Nils .The Nils is going into her 4th season and has had it in it since day one .

Yes your auger may call for different ratios but thats because dino oils differ so much in their content . That is the beauty of Amsoil because one mixture does all, no matter what . Heck even my new stihl whipersnapper came with a 6 pack of their oil but it just is gathering dust because I just put my amsoil mix to her from day one .

Don't be afraid of the leaner mix needed if your using Amsoil Sabre Professional . It is that good and your auger or anything else will thank you for it .

Amsoil is great stuff!!

I have been using it in my Nils for 4 years at 80:1 with no problems. I drill hundreds of holes every winter too!

Does anyone know if this will be carried at the ice show?

[bgreen82]

or another good spot to pick it up in the east metro. preferably around cottage grove. i checked a couple places last year without success.

Just fyi... and I'm not a oil expert by no means but this is cut and pasted out of the Solo owners manual. So be careful if you by a Solo.

1 Oil

To operate your engine you will need to use a clean, high-quality, 2-cycle oil mixed with fuel at a ratio

of 40:1 (3.2 fl. oz. to 1 gallon of gas). DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC OIL. DO NOT use a fuel/oil mixture

leaner than 50:1 (2.6 fl. oz. to 1 gallon of gas).

Got this from Strikemaster's site under their Q&A:

"Q: CAN I USE SYNTHETIC OILS IN MY SOLO AUGER?

A: Quality two cycle oils (Regular or Synthetic) are approved for use in the Solo engine.

Mixture ratio MUST NOT exceed 50:1

Mixture ratios over 50:1 will VOID all warranties.

StrikeMaster 2 cycle oil meets OEM approved global oil specifications ISO-E-GD and API TC for use in all 2 cycle air cooled engines. Approved for SOLO and Tecumseh engines.

SOLO 2 cycle oil meets OEM approved global oil specifications ISO-L-EGD, JASO FD for use in all 2 cycle air cooled engines."

Well then nothing better than a little confusion for us none oil experts!!

[Neighbor_guy]

Ams Saber Pro. @ about 80:1

My auger has never run better. I also use it for my chain saw.

My boat gets Saber Outboard premix @ just under 100:1
