Why? Oil tests show its still got some life left in it and my microscope shows no contamination of concern in my latest version of reclaim oil.

They beat me to it. $7,000, my budget is more like 500 less. 80 years ago lol.

You grossly underestimate the scale I operate at or are you intensionally playing dumb to try and make it seem like I only use reclaimed oil this one time on one engine? Reclaimed oil saves gallons of bar and chain oil alone every year. If every mower I repaired only got the oil drained and...

How so? The only evidence I can find is they appear to be cleaner with a little bit of 2 stroke oil.

Explain post 23 then. Appears to have quite the opposite effect of what you claim.

I'm sure the oil companies appreciate it.

Run it till the foam rips or the paper turns black.

A Cummins common rail 6.7L.

I'll probably do I more just because it irritates people so much.

Probably 4 reasons. 1 the 2stroke gas can happened to be closer. 2 the only gas I happened to have is 2stroke gas. 3 burn off old 2 stroke gas to get fresh gas or oil. 3a someone gave me premix like trufuel and I'm burning it up in my mower. 4 do it because for some reason it drives people...

There's cold temperatures and blizzards even in new Mexico. New Mexico regularly has lower low temperatures than Maine.

Oh my that's inconvenient for the 2stroke gas in a 4stroke engine doomers.

Obviously. I've rebuilt both 2 stroke and 4 stroke small engines. I've even worked on big 2 stroke diesel engines.

Ok now you're just repeating how lubrication work in each engine, which was never in question. I have no idea why you think 2 stroke oil will do one thing in a 2 stroke engine and then do something completely different in a 4 stroke engine. What happed to all the carbon that is supposed to clog...

Seems like crime and housing costs went up.

Why doesn't it happen with 2 stroke engines with much more 2 stroke oil? How many hours or how long is it supposed to take to see 4 stroke engines clogged up with carbon from running 2 stroke oil?

The HD appears to mean additives. The 2 different 30hd oils I have are SM and SP rated. SM and SP definitely have detergent in them. Needs to be SA rated, 30sae appears to often be SA rated. I only put such oil in air compressors.

What's supposed to happen? Only been doing it on and off for 30 years. Still waiting for something bad to happen.

So how does 2 stroke oil dissolved in gas avoid getting on the cylinder bore and into the rings on a 4 stroke engine? Sounds like magic.

The pgi extended life is clean sweeping everything down to 5 microns before it gets sloppy and only catches 80% of them.
