But not at 100:1.

There's not enough oil there to cover the error margin. Amsoil has a lot of antiwear additives besides synthetic oil in the formula.

If you are a prolific chainsaw runner and you keep the bar buried all day, you will soon gall a piston. And the guy that tears the engine down will immediately see the lack of oil on the piston. I have a Dolmar here that a guy ran on Amway 100:1 and I have the galled piston and cylinder to prove what happens.

If you are compelled to use Amsoil, use it with a more realistic oil ratio like 50:1

I didnt know this about the amsoil oil mix. I quit using it anyways cause for some reason it doesnt work in lawnoby 2 cycle mowers. I have to use a mix I can use in everything 2 cycle from mowers to weedeaters to chainsaws. I dont use enough of the mix to keep a 2 gas cans mixed with 2 different ratios of mix. Thats why I use the 50:1 Tru fuel in the can.
