What oil is best? and what ratio?

[hseII]

red max or Husqvarna oil is dirt cheap compared to red armor.
i would buy either before i paid to use a expensive oil.

Ask Randy Evans what Husqvarna synthetic does to an MS200T & a MS150T.

[hseII]

rather smell my own ass than smell ultra lol.

I hadn't.

 

[jake wells]

i use the cheapest i can get and i have used Husqvarna oils with no problems they are both semi syn just like red armor.
a few years back i used nothing but xp in everything i owned lawn boy red max or echo even a few stihl fs 66,75 and 88.
tune has a lot to do with it.

 

[hseII]

Gotta run a fuel stabilizer in pump gas. There are a few good ones out there.

There is supposed to be fuel stabilizers in Ultra: that's what stinks.

 

[KenJax Tree]

There is stabilizer in most OPE oil

 

[RI Chevy]

I run stabilizer in it anyway. Lol

 

[hseII]

Lol. Too funny.
I am sure that the oil is excellent!
Just read like I was reading it from a website or something. Not from a junkman. Lol

He's a Special Kind of Junkman: Redd Foxx would be Envious.

@Keith Gandy

Lol!! I just rebuilt a Husky 181 ran on Stihl Ultra 50to1 that was super clean








Except for the melted piston/ring that was transferred to the cylinder!!!

Last time I remember buying fuel stabilizer was about 2002 when a 4 Wheeler was going to set for a while.

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. No E free fuel up here. I also have lots of 4 stroke stuff too. Lawn mowers, snow blower, generator. chippers, etc.

 

[KenJax Tree]

Im not a fan of Ultra because of headaches but I want to know what the hell people down south do with it to do that. Just about every one of our crews use Stihl Ultra and i have NEVER heard of a failure. If there were that may failures Stihl would have to do something about it. I hear about 1-2 weekly on here, so that would mean 100,000's worldwide.

It sucks for fuel up there. I'd be buying a 18 gallon pail of fuel. Find a race shop to get it at and it's cheaper than buying it yourself.

 

[RI Chevy]

Yup. I found one but the octane is too high. I think its 109 octane. I am probably better off with VP SEF fuel at 94.
About equal in price per 5 gallons

If you find a race shop that orders a big truck load of cans and drums in the spring you might be able to add on. I need to call the one here since it's almost time and get a 5 gallons can on M5 methanol and maybe another 5 gallons of SEF.

 

[RI Chevy]

I will check on that Mike. A buddy races cars in Thompson, CT and the series uses Sunoco fuel. I think I can get the 5 gallon cans for about $10 cheaper. $50.00.
Sunoco 94 EFree canned fuel.

 

[Keith Gandy]

So would just about any other oil[emoji1]

Keywords, "Just about"

Sunoco 94 EFree canned fuel.

That's the best way to do it. These guys buy 10 55 gallon drums or something like that at once and have them delivered to one spot.

Down here dirt track racing is BIG! Theres somebody with a barrel of VP or Sunoco everywhere u look. Lots of race shops here carry it too. I use 87 to 93 efree as its avaliable here too. Dont really see a need for race fuel though in a woods port
