[bgreen82]

a little mad though, guy at gander said it would have a bottle of strikemaster oil in the box, but the box was slightly open and when i got home, no oil:(. should it have come with it? ill have to call gander tomorrow. anyways, still excited.

[Jesse Drummer]

awsome way to go you should not be disapointed with the auger!

[bgreen82]

should it have had the bottle of oil in it though?

[jwhjr]

When I got mine a couple of years ago there was no oil in the box. I don't know if there was supposed to be any though.

Bgreen,

Use AMSOil Saber Pro, 50-1 for first gallon instead of the strikemaster oil, you won't be disapointed that you did.

Wish I would have broken mine in that way instead of the strikemaster oil.

Way lesssmoke and no black goo coming out of the muffler.

Love my Mag 2000!

It would more then likely be cheaper and less hassle to just go to a auto parts store and buy some good 2 cycle oil or get some Amsoil saber and mix it according to the directions.

[walleyvoyager]

what is the mixing ratio on your mag 2000? 40 to 1? I purchased one last year, mine says to mix it at 24 to 1. Do most people mix them a little bit lean?

[maros91]

Can't go wrong with a Strike!

[hanson]

I would say the oil missing from the box is actually a blessing in disguise. Pick yourself up a small bottle of Amsoil Saber Professional as a couple other posters mentioned. You'll thank us and your auger will thank you.

i've never seen oil come with an auger in my life...me and my buddies have put together about 10 augers in the past few years....like people are sayin though get some amsoil.

[harvey lee]

Amsoil Sabre and your auger will smile all day. Congrats on the new auger.

[bgreen82]

thanks guys. im on my way out to get some now. where is the best place to find it?

[Northlander]

Call around in your area but Napa, O Reily, Bumper to Bumper, L&M all have it around here. If not E-mail me and I will send you some. I live in Superior, Wi. where it is made and the warehouse is only 5 minutes from my house. I have a few Pillow Packets left over from our 1st Ice Event.

Otherwise you can order it from THeoilguy here on FM. He is a long time sponsor.

[MasterClear]

From Cottage Grove you can get it in NewPort at the auto parts store near the RV dealer..... The OilGuy gives good service for ordering....

[bgreen82]

cool, ill head over to newport. they always seem like the place to find everything you need.

I got one myself yesterday as the Christmas present to myself and it didnt come with oil and didnt say it did. So I dont think it is supposed to come with oil. I dont know if it is true or not but I heard its better to run a tank with regular 2-stroke oil before you run synthetics to break it in. I dont know if its true or not. Could someone verify if I am right for me?

I just got a mag 2000 for xmas it did not come with any oil. I bought some strike master smokeless oil. How good is this oil? I have mixed it in a can but have not filled or ran the mag 2000 yet?
