Oil questions...

Yep...but it clearly says FD. The other day I checked and it said FB. Can't have it both ways unless a certification is lagging. I commented... asking Stihl about 4 days ago.... crickets.

Where does it say FD?

I use AI oil, it adjusts to the needs of my OPE.
It conforms to all standards.

For a 3-digit annual fee it can activate wireless connection to the users brain and perform exactly as he/she imagines it should.
It can also change smoke density & smell to the users imagination.

So, how did you get banned?

Hope that my answer would not be "the sum of all your fears"......since many BITOGers are a little bit on the OCD side regarding engine oils.....

Apparently it is hard to get along for some individuals if you point out that they are chasing ACEA, VW, MB, BMW JASO, ISO oil standards......instead of domestic API ones....

Then debate comes down to this picture (it sums up why we have better oils)....

And then comes along aaaaaand its gone.....its all gone!

That is putting it very, very mildly. Their level of OCD does not allow them to tolerate differing opinions. Granted, there are people there who do know an awful lot about oil, but I can think of a few outspoken characters who know less than they think they do.

I do appreciate the UOAs that people post and there are some folks who seem quite well educated and informed. But it's important to remember that the entire BITOG forum is kind of like one giant "Which 2-stroke oil is best?" thread--derailments are inevitable.

 

[Tomos770]

To be honest.....it was not just "which 2stroke oil is the best" derailment.....

Was involved in some bickering with their mod afterwards....and the rest is the history....

He was fair enough.....not holding any grudge

Its informative forum.....still a lurker!

On the Polish forum, I asked the moderator why he required something from users that he did not use himself and that was my last question
