It makes a blonde roux

Corey I ran quite a bit of Dolmar in my ht250 and br600 today. Really likin it

See! Many just blew me off for the last year. But it seems to be a pretty solid oil especially for the price.

Stihl BG55 blower ran on Stihl Ultra @ 50to1. Rings were starting to fill with carbon

Typical from what I see internally with Stihl Ultra. The carbon itself isnt bad but the buildup in the ring lands and rings are a problem. I see this more in their blower and small homeowner saws

 

[Al Smith]

Hmm imagine that from the almighty Stihl with their super products comes a product that carbons up their own equipment ? Perhaps there is more to the story ?
I can't help but wonder with my own equipment running on 32 to 1 how I ever escaped something similar --on TSC oil to boot . Clean living perhaps .

I have seen alot of carbon buildup on blowers and whips too. Most of the ones i see are running gas station mix or the multimix crap. Seen many with the exhaust port 70-85% blocked off with carbon. Had one come in for a rebuid as owner said was way down on power. Popped off the muffler and couldnt even see the piston. No scores other then some carbon smears. Cleaned it all up even reused rings at .010. Customer saws it runs better then new. I did mod the muffler a little bit lol.

Smokey I dont see that buildup in any of the pro saws 50cc and up? The Stihl oil burns dirty no doubt but Im thinkin in the blowers and small homeowners saw that the small diameter arrestor screen surely doesnt help?

Blowers and trimmers tend to be ran at full throttle for longer periods of time. As a result they get hotter.
Ultra was a band aid for the design compromises made for the 4 mix engine line.
I wouldnt run that crap if it were givwn to me. Not to menrion thw fact it smells terrible. Like burnt plastic.

I read that it only affects blowers and hand helds as well.i bought a qt to try once it made my saws stink i quit using it

It does stink im waiting to give my remaing qt away.i also remember when 4 mix was brought out it.they were having all sorts of problems with it.

Using flashpoint and viscosity to judge the suitability of a two cycle oil is severly flawed.
I do enjoy your you tube channel.

I'm going to give one of my weedeaters a long due rebuild over the winter. Will be interested to see what everything looks like after 16 years of 36:1 with fuel stabilizer. Never found any exhaust port buildup so I must be doing something right.
