ace hardware low ash 2t oil is good stuff it comes in a quart and blended with fuel stabilizer only 4.99.

I would I would try that but my closest Ace Hardware that sells that is over 30 miles away.

I must say very well written , sums it up really well

Some of it is on point, some not so much.

Those of you who run Red Armor it appears that the formula has changed. There is no longer any Ester in it according to the SDS. The first screenshot is the new SDS. The second is the old one from last year that showed Ester in the blend.View attachment 54741 View attachment 54742

Those two are vastly different.

Looks like back to dolmar synthetic after I run out of my current stock of RA

 

[huskihl]

Maybe they'll change the name to "Red Armor Plated" now

 

[Adirondackstihl]

So is it better or worse now?

Im not sure Jeremy. Ben may like it better since they took the Esters out. Looks like they went on the cheap and removed alot but guess well have to see what Ben says

 

[RI Chevy]

So if one can get some older RA on the shelfs, they are better?

 

[huskihl]

I haven't looked, but it's probably similar to Stihl ultra now

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Are there any physical differences in the bottles or labels?

New label

 

[Adirondackstihl]

I think that's what the label looks like on my 6pack bottles
