Which oil

[PC tree]

I used cast roll 2t once and thought that smelt nice too. Like when I used to watch my mate at moto x

I found the green stihl stinks?

Used husky xp long ago, might give it another go.

 

What's this aspen stuff?

Hi Pc tree,

 

Aspen2 is a pre mix 2-stroke with very low odour that is 99% cleaner than pump fuels.

 

Please contact me direct on 07568 108953 or email [email protected]

 

Also check out our website Aspenfuel

 

Aspen has a s/n on every container of fuel and we guarantee it is the right mix!!

 

That's why Husqvarna run everything on Aspen in the factory and it does not void warranty on Stihl products.

A747 is the one you want for the authentic "racing" smell, or if you want to be proper hard core, straight R40 which is pure castor oil (or what our American friends refer to as "bean oil").

 

Wouldn't particularly recommend it for a chainsaw though!

Aspen is far to expensive for reality

Stihl hp super or rock oil both semi synthetic oils

[oldwoodcutter]

Yep, stihl green.

Yep, stihl green.

 

But do we need to think of using this.

 

 

 

More money but fully synthetic.

I use Ultra as the fools in the shop priced it wrong and didn't notice so I've got I think 20 litres of it. Also means none of my 4mix engines break.

I changed to Aspen , would say it's the way to go . Never had a problem with Stihl red though .

Bear in mind that racing castor oil is formulated for, well, racing. It leaves a film in the bore and on the piston to ensure your motor is coated during very heavy heat cycling and loads for hours at a time. Once race day is over, you then tear down the engine and rebuild it. If you don't, you will accrue both carbon and castor build up over time. For GTG's and race day events with chainsaws, it's perfectly fine. But I wouldn't run it every day in a work saw unless I planned to pull it apart within a short while.

 

Smells freakin lovely though.

Sorry I meant to say Castrol 2t not castor oil. I wouldn't use that in a saw. But thanks for the in-depth explanation.
