I'm mixing with VP SEF.....
But a few months ago I got a 5gal pail of C9 at a crazy cheap price.

It's all pricey *s-word.....but to me it's worth not rebuilding carbs and replacing fuel lines.
Heck.....5gal last me almost a full yr

Used to run Super Techniplate in my Rotax.
Smelled great.
But left my RAVE valves gummy/sticky.

I heard Stihls can run on only gas. No oil is required.

I have super and that picture of the piston of a 7900 was ran with it. I think the deposits are more a product of the gas and not the oil as much as we thought.

Although I will say that the Echo FD certified synthetic left more deposits than the mix I run now ............... all with VP

I've not ran enough VP through one saw to see if it's the fuel. I've been lucky to get a tank a month lately. I did run Matt's 7900 out last night. I cut cookies for right at a whole tank. Its got VP now and the piston top wasn't real dirty. He's been running Lucas from what I remember.

They mostly run too rich. Especially ported. Had a 576 that would 4 stroke with a 20" unless you run an 8 pin and pushed hard. The 550 was finicky on fuel and really needed 40:1 with a thinner oil than 800 or Belray for sure.

I was told the 576 has the older technology Autotune , what makes you think you needed richer mixture or different viscosity? On the 550 Just curious

here is what 5 yrs of supertech air cooled 2t at 40:1 looks like in my old mans trimmer
all he runs is that oil mixed with walmart/murphy gasoline.

The 550 ran better with a thinner oil like k2 over 800. The 576 ran pig rich with every oil with a short bar.

I ran 5 or 6 tanks through a ported 33cc saw ................ took forever to do it too
But - I started with a clean piston and ended up with less than a fingernail of wash for the transferr area on the piston top with the Echo.
I never cleaned it up, but now it looks about the same as the 661 with 20% wash over each of the transferrs now. All I did was switch oils and run the same VP fuel

I think they both influence the deposits, maybe more the fuel than the oil

echo red armor burns cleaner than regular echo oil. my echo trimmer runs the best on xp oil not sure why.

I'm picking up a 5 gal pail of C9 today Should last me close to a year , I cut 16 face cord a yr then random brushing in between. I'm running dominator oil

I run The Amsoil dominator in my sled it seems like good oil for Rave valves on my MXZ
I know klotz has a big following as well

I like H1/R exhaust fumes. They smelly yummy. The raw mix gas fumes burn the chit outta my eyes though.
