MS 261 Fuel Mix

[ADB328]

Is the fuel/oil mix for a MS 261 exactly the same as the older 260's?

 

Thanks

Yes. 50:1.

Only use a quality synthetic or semi synthetic, horticultural grade oil that is suitable for mixing at 50:1, preferably 'low ash'

some cheaper oils are not concentrated enough to run at that ratio and are best avoided.

50:1 only if you are using a recommended 50:1 dilution ratio oil.

 

Remember it's the oil that recommends the dilution ratio and not the saw.

 

Good quality oil from Stihl and Husqvarna always clearly mark the dilution ratio on the bottle- cheaper generic oils do not generally mark the dilution ratio on the bottle and these are best avoided at all costs.
