That Red Armor will still be a darn good oil even without the esters. According to Ben it would be better without the esters. No skin off my azz either way as I have about 10yrs of RA!! :eek::D!! If not Red Armor it will be Klotz Original and red either way is the way to go ! The blue and green oils r a big grade downhill from red oils!!:eek::Do_O

In a blind test on 2 saws run on red oil could you tell which was Red Armor by running it and looking inside?[emoji6]

person of limited intellect.

There you go = just keep telling us more about yourself. ^^^^^^ :risas3:

Guess I better go check on that oil separation since it IS NOT COLD weather separation that I see in saws that come in :risas3:;)

32:1 has never not worked for me.

More oil= more detergent and dispersent additives. 40:1 with stihl mix wouldnt be a problem, but mx2t is cheaper and much better quality wise. FWIW I run 32:1 in everything I own that requires mixed fuel.

Was doing some reading on another oil separation problem folks are seeing and come across the above. :eek:
Amazing to me how folks flip flop. :risas3:

I've been using Stihl and getting headaches every time. I just thought it might be the exhaust in general. Now that I hear others are getting headaches from it, I'll try something different. I have Echo and Husky dealers and of course a multitude of generics available. I'd be really interested to know how many are bottled in the same refinery.
