When I first worked as a tree-cutter for the power company back in late 60s - all we had were poorly build Homelite saws and 30W motor oil for mix (XL101, 5-30, etc.). Early 70s we switched to Sthil (040,S10, etc.). Used nothing but 30W in them and I still have two of them. So 40 plus years later they still run fine. Nobody is going to convince me their useful lifespans were shortened by inferior oil. My "new" Stihl 045 Super that I got mid 80s still runs fine an has never had anything but TCW oil in it. 30 years old and still going. And yes - I also have a few truly new saws. Two Dolmars, two EFCOs, one Echo, and a few Homelite-like Poulan Pro junkers. I use 20 to 1 mix of TCW oil in all. Why? Less confusion. One mix goes in all my 2-stroke-cycle stuff. I understand that there are better oils that can endure more heat stress and a "richer" mix - like 50 to 1 instead of 20 to 1 (or 16 to 1). Much of the tweaking the new oils is to get emissions down by burning less oil. I don't disagree with that fact. The guy who started this post asked if the TCW oil was OK. The answer is - yes - if used right.
