Probably an obvious answer to this question.

I currently run an old stihl 048av along with newer stihl stuff,ms181,ms260,stihl blower etc.The handbook for the 048 recommends a 40:1fuel/oil mix with stihl oil or 25:1 mix with any other brand,however all the newer machines use a 50:1 stihl oil mix.the question is can I safely run the 048 at 50:1 on modern stihl oil bearing in mind that we are 20+ years on with oil technology now?
