Stihl ultra

Recommended Posts

About a year ago I switched from using Stihl Super 2 stroke oil to Stihl Ultra (always mixed with premium petrol).

In that year I’ve have 2x Ms150t, 346xp, 357xp and a 441 seize.

 

Bad luck? Just seems a big coincidence.

 

Anyone elsi having issues?

I’ve just noticed that you can buy XP oil in 10ltr which makes it a bit cheaper than ultra, so will be switching to that. That will also keep my Husqy gimps happy [emoji38]

why the hell all my saws have run for ages on old Stihl red, then this new stuff arrives and saws fail  ?  k

You have had failures with ultra too? So far so good here after a year or so.

 

I disliked the change from red to blue when I did it because the red gave an instant check that the oil was there whereas I find it harder to notice the blue.

Baffling. Sounds like a mixing issue but yr too experienced for that to be the case- dunno why the hell all my saws have run for ages on old Stihl red, then this new stuff arrives and saws fail  [emoji15]  k

Yes, always mix at very slightly richer than 50:1.
Will be upping the mix a bit more until all the Ultras been used up.
