Wal-Mart brand synthetic gives it a nice dark blue. VP synthetic makes a cherry red hue.

I think I read that Amsoil gives fuel a blue color? That's cool and would be handy but, dang, that stuff is expensive. Wondering if there is another good oil that gives color.

Also, is Stihl HP Ultra (silver bottle) a good oil? I have a six-pack of the 2.6 oz bottles, just wondering about using it. Seems I have read the orange bottle Stihl isn't good but the silver bottle is but I'll leave it to you guys!

I've been using canned fuel but have been cutting quite a bit and that stuff is also expensive!

I do have a source for e-free gas in my area. One place has either 87 or 89 and another place has 3 different gasolines, I think it's 87 to 92 range. But I also think I have read that higher octanes really don't matter in a chainsaw? More controversy!


How much are you paying for Saber?

You're right Wood Chopper. The Amsoil Saber is $13.45/qt (EDIT: Plus $9 shipping) at their site? It's $32 at Amazon.

I bought Amsoil Saber at a local Norby's for less than $6.00 each for the 8 ounce bottles. I like the way the exhaust smells when running saws.

Find a local dealer if you can.. yes ordering 1 or 2 quarts isn’t cost-effective from their site

Cost $11 to ship a case of 12 quarts
