2 cycle oil has improved much since then. I was skeptical about this poll saw. But see above-can't give 10 year review on this. This is our fourth Ridgeyard. For the price though it's a great deal.

Ridgeyard 52cc 20" Final Thoughts
"Easy to use and handle."
Puts just the right amount of oil on the bar. This is my third Ridgeyard purchase. I have cut several without any issues. No spark plugs to clean or replace. This DOES NOT have an adjustable flow bar oiler.
