Am I using the wrong 2stroke oil?

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Amasoil is mixed at 100:1....and still works!

 

Haha Redline vs Amsoil !!!

 

How many wars between these two! I know which I prefer tho

 

Group V vs Group IV hehehe

 

Oh and then there's Motul aswell as a Grp V Ester. Hmmm.

thats funny. I've had problems starting my 395XP and my 357XP when using the Stihl red mix. I only use bio/low smoke 2 stroke now. Also, I used to use other people fuel when freelancing and ended up seizing up a 357XP due to a bad mix. Stihl saws are a bit less fussy on the mix, but Husky's can indeed be a problem. My MS201T runs on anything...except Aspen...yet my MS200T loves the stuff!

How long before this degenrates into a stihl vs husky thread

It kind of is allready under a different guise!!

Well I have been told again today by one of the bosses employes that continual use of stihl oil will seize my saw up in a matter of weeks!! Then the climber I was working with said said just use their fuel, that's what it's there for hahaha

What other advice have they given you crackers... little knowledge is deadly. Sounds like a rumour from down the pub lol

Buy Oregon :p:p

Nothing other than that and it's only the boss and his first hand that have said it, the rest just say it doesn't really matter

I have always used other peoples mix. Regardless of brand.

 

Regarding the comments about saws seizing etc and only using your own mix...

 

Not one of the guys I work for have had saws seize on them, so it isn't a worry for me.

Used a 2stroke/diesel mix for a short while recently. Employee picked up the wrong jerry to top-up the combi can. Saws still work fine although they did smoke a bit!
