On stihl ultra development.

I like 50:1.

 

[Keith Gandy]

I like 50:1.

50%/50% at 50to1 still?

 

[porsche965]

Just simple ol Saber.
Or Red Armor. Just depends on the engine and how it reacts. Sometimes 64:1. But nothing less than 50:1.

I would use the orange bottle before ultra

If an Ester oil should fail early on upon what empiracle knowledge do we base our oil purchases on then?

Smell or color

Stihl ultra is made by astroglide
It's common knowledge.

If you cowgirls never noticed..

I've dumped more than one of the supposedly "50:1" bottles of oil in my ratio rite that actually measured 60:1.

I see 2 ported saws run 50:1 all week...one is on it's 3rd year.

Actually i hate husqvarna xp oil just as much
Both ultra and xp give me headaches
When i run them.
Many other cutters have told me the same.
And I've fixed many saws with stuck rings
Or plugged screens
Due to both.
Ultra in a low hour stihl 171
Red armor has been good i ran it 8 year's then they virtually doubled the price.
So I'm running schaeffer supreme 7000 boat oil
It's been good so far I'm on my 8th gallon
40/1
No carbon deposits
It's blue but no headaches
And much cheaper than ra.

I heard on the interwebs that Astroglide is the stuff. You can park a limo in a doghouse with Astroglide

 

[sawmikaze]

You guys actually pick oils for the smell ?

Lol.
