Hey everyone!

I'm excited to show you my latest temperature testing video. This time, I test 6 of the most popular 2-stroke mix oils in my Stihl leaf blower. I conduct a total of 12 temperature tests.

6 oils tested, 50:1 mix using 91 octane ethanol-free fuel.

- Amsoil Saber
- Stihl Premium
- Stihl Ultra Synthetic
- Husqvarna XP+
- Echo Red Armor
- Echo Powerblend Gold

2 exhaust (muffler) temperature readings per oil, one after 5 minutes of idle, and one after 3 minutes of full throttle. 10 minutes of cool down time between different fuels.

Why 5 minutes of idle?
-5 minutes of idle is plenty of time for whatever remaining fuel from the previous test to be drawn through the fuel lines, through the carburetor, and consumed by the engine. This gives an ample amount of time to ensure that the temperature measurement after 5 minutes is only as a result from the mixed fuel that is burned and currently in the tank.

Why 3 minutes of full throttle?
- 3 minutes of full throttle (full load) allows the engine to settle at a maximum operating temperature where the differences in temperature readings between the different brands of oils can only be effected by the cooling and lubricating properties of each oil.

Let me know what you think of the results!

Cheers!!!
