For my Stihl garden equipment and saws I have been using up the husqvarna yellow dye 2 Stroke oil I had for the oil guard saw which looks for that dye. But now I have all Stihl equipment and need more oil anyway.
The red Stihl oil is typical but they do a higher end HP Ultra oil as below image which I bought to try out:
Full synthetic and supposedly runs much cleaner leaving no / minimal deposits in the cylinder. Anyone else using this oil?
Also - I use 99 octane super unleaded in my saws as it is also still ethanol free at my local pumps unlike the std 10% unleaded.
For winter or long periods of storage are you better to drain all fuel and run them dry or what is best?
I used to mess with the 1L mix bottles but now use a dedicated 5L petrol can and the one shot bottles.
