Just found out the Echo Red Armor premix fuel is not sold in Canada , I was going to try some in my back pack blower and pole saw since they will likely see periods of sitting .

The dealer I was at had plenty of RA oil and other oils. ;) http://performanceoutdoorequipment.com/

Nate even ask which oil would I prefer for the echo. Threw the free bottle in the box. Then I bought more of the 13oz bottles to have too.
I just figure run this RA while this ope is new and under warranty.

I seen 3 different sizes of the RA 1gal 2.5gal and 5gal bottles there in his shop. Plus the RA fuel.

I think when he started it up at the shop I watched him pour RA fuel from the can that is their 93 octane mix.

Used the Red Armor yet?

Mixed up 3gal. Dang 280 seems to sip the mix.

Dont smell. Least I dont smell anything at all.

Still running so guess that is good. Not tearing anything apart just for a looks see I can tell you that. ;)

Do like the good dye color. Wish the KL-200 used that dark of red dye too.

From what I understand RA isnt 100% synthetic. Just a semi synthetic blend.
