Yes sir! Hows that workin out so far?Kl200

Kinda looks like dark roast finely ground run through a mess screen without a filter??!!!I ran stihl ultra for a while and no matter how I tuned it on any of my saws it would leave goo at the exhaust. The bigger saws where not as bad as smaller saws and my weedeater would just oooozzz down the muffler and even down the side of the case.
Whatever a station sells the most of, freshest, should be best. Even if it's ethanol.Maybe my local fuel available is crap? 91 e free but hey that doesn't mean it is great.

Lord I dont have a clue. My experience with it was a stuck ring in 3 tanks of fuel on a new 550xp with alota blowby also. Id be very interested to see in that 50/55 setupJust for chits and giggles I have a bg50 that had a shot piston so I put a 2 ring bg55 piston in it. I'm only running super techniplate in it to see what it does. I have it tuned a little on the lean side.
Crimping the end of the output tube will make her pick up alota rpm!!!In that bg50 it's 100% super. Since it's always under load I want to see if it's enough to burn it. At $2.50 a pint I had to try it in something. It's also running no base gasket, timing bump and a muffler mod. Lol. It picked up 300 rpm
Never used it Ryan. From what I hear it is but thats like my opinion and everyone elses being just an opinion
Stihl ultra is crap! Mix decomposes in 90 days or less.im late to this party cause I've been burning dominator @ 32-1 bucking n noodling a humongus burr oak the last 2 days.So you're calling Stihl ultra a cheap oil? First time I've heard that.
Nope! Im gonna stik wiff whut I gots...The Klotz Super is very dirty but I think it could be used with a spot on tune. Have u tried Klotz Original Techniplate? Its not dirty at all
I was being a teenie bit sarcastic. You of all people should have recognized thatStihl ultra is crap! Mix decomposes in 90 days or less.im late to this party cause I've been burning dominator @ 32-1 bucking n noodling a humongus burr oak the last 2 days.
ultra was developed for the the 4 mix engines just like when shindaiwa had red armor developed for their 2/4 hybrid engines.Stihl didn't have an Ultra when I left the company in 2005 , all there was at that time was the regular oil made to our specs by Castrol and it was a clean burning oil .
Why Stihl would use a lesser oil in the Ultra does not make sense at all . All I can think of is they were trying to produce a cleaner burning oil for the 4 mix engines that were having a lot of issues from carbon but by the sound of it ultra isn't even near improving that and it's been on the market for several years so I'm sure they must be aware it's not working well and I'm sure they have had lots of complaints .
Strange for a company such as Stihl to let something like that slide and not improve it .![]()
