I use Canola for the saw when I cut hickory for smoking sausage... Lately, and I mean the last week or so, been using Canola in the crankcase of my tiller, which is over 40 years old and still the original motor, a Tecumseh 6 horse. The tiller engine uses a LOT of oil, and I figured I didn't have a whole lot to lose if it locked up. I've heard different people swear by various brands of engines, you know, the old Ford/Chevy stuff, but by golly, that Tecumseh is probably right at 42 years old, and will start on the first pull. The plug gets fouled, and has to be cleaned about every 2 hours of runtime. Been doing that for awhile....
