Nah I prefer the orange. The smell of the ultra gives me a headache.

I apologize if this has been asked before but with over 700 pages to the thread I didn’t feel like going through them all.

Anyone have any experience with the Castrol GO 2T oil? I was just given a case of it by a friend who I did some falling for, he figured that I could use it. Just wondering what people’s thoughts are on it. Thanks

I'm thinking liquid cooled 2 stroke motorcycle mix oil.
How many air cooled bike 2 strokes do we see today?
This Castrol is what Stihl Canada orange bottle is blended from.
I've run it in my saws for 45 years, like it better then the Stihl Ultra.

Is the orange bottle the mineral oil? What color is it?
Seems only NA market has grey and orange bottle .
We only have those transparent-white bottles.

Orange bottle is Dino oil. Old skool traditional. Blueish in color.

Uh.. I mean what color is the oil. not the bottle.
The one we have is red and green, called Stihl HP and Super.

That's not nice coming from Team Stihl Captain. You can double your warranty on your new 461r if you use it. [emoji16]

I just poured some 40:1 Stihl Premium orange cap (not Ultra) on the snow, blue.
You guys in the U.S. don't have Stihl mix blended by Castrol.
I was just replying for fellow Canadian Shanesaw80.

Every market got their own recipe I guess. Interesting.

Thanks for the reply. I actually think I have a bunch of that in my shed. I’ll check when I get home from work tonight.
