Quick check on Aspen 4.... adding oil.

[SteveA]

Have bought three cans of Aspen 4 for the chainsaw.... Husky 550Xpg

 

The dealer wasn't sure if it's okay to add oil to the Aspen 4 to make it a 2 stroke mix (50:1).

 

I've got a load of Stihl synthetic oil to get through which is why I went for Aspen4 instead of Aspen 2.

 

Before I use it, just double checking; is it okay to add Stihl oil to Aspen 4?

 

Cheers, Steve

I was wondering the same . I have a lot of Red Line racing 2 stroke oil and wanted to see what the combined smell would be

I've done it before in my 560 and never had any problems so I'd say go for it

Sounds promising. Who's the Aspen chap on the Arbtalk forum? Maybe he could advise....

Hi,

 

Anything that will mix with pump fuel will mix with Aspen.

 

I am sure you understand it will not be as good as Aspen2.

 

But you will get lower fumes and constant fuel.

 

Please email [email protected] or phone me on 07568108953 if you need any more info or help.

 

All the best

Filled the Husky 550 up with Aspen4 this morning. Works a treat. No smoke, no nasty feeling at the back of the throat, no headaches and the saw started first or second pull.

 

I can see why people use Aspen now. Yeah it's a lot more expensive but I think it's worth it.
