32:1 seemed a bit rich for my equipment with the electronic carbs. I did experimenting with all my equipment and settled on 36:1... You should really look at what Redbull did towards the beginning of this thread.

Just thinking 36 is so close to 32? I glanced at some of it but not in depth.

Did someone say Red Armor was semi synthetic?

Yes. I emailed them and asked them. It has been a few years ago.

Is this the new or older RA mix? Or are they 1 in the same?

What about stihl in the silver bottle? I like it lots.

I’d run Itasca Dino over it

I just picked up a KM131 head. Are the 4-Mix motors OK with 36:1?

That can give carbon built up on the valves and valve seats and running problems. Stihl only recommends 50:1 for the 4 Mix engines because of this carbon built up. I think it`s not good to use 36:1 in the 4 Mix engines.

Good point. That will complicate things...

See a nice thick layer of black crusty schit on the inside. It's great.

It's a protective coating.

Red Armour when it first came out was a completely different oil than it is now. I see no reason to run it over power blend now.

Best deal i found is on ebay. Havent walked into a dealer yet as those are hard to find. But found a gallon of power blend shipped off ebay for $45

So the older original oil is better thsn the newer formula?
