Oil "additives" are the same as tooth fillings!

You did it wrong to begin with!

Disclaimer:
NO, I am not sober nor clear minded!

I had an extremely *s-wordty work week being called out to have sabotaged/edited a CNC mill processing program for a quite elaborate work piece.
Nearing 3 decades of actually caring for my one and only work place!
Makes me loose all hope of reaching retirement at the same. 😢

I am a metal worker at trade.
I won't do the work assigned if if it doesn't comply to tollerances!

P.S.:
The world is going to s#its!

I don’t believe you would ever do that brother. You’re a good one. Side note I know nothing about the stihl oil you guys have over there but I’m confident it’s a different formula than US markets carry

Thank You for Your support!

I am considering to quit my workplace of nearly 3 decades or provoke getting fired!

I need to check which option is more convenient for me! :(

As you know, I modify saws, and the saws that show up here that have been ran on Red Armor are the worst ones to do muffler work on. Without exception, the mufflers are full of sticky goop that has to be boiled or burned out before we can be sure we have left no metal inside the muffler. On Stihl's two piece mufflers this isn't an issue, but on Husqvarna's closed mufflers it is a pain in the ass. I've learned to hate Red Armor just because of this.

Is it related to improper tune? Maybe so, but we see the same results on auto tune saws.
Randy, I have run it on a 550xp mk2, MS400C, a Redmax Trimmer, Redmax kombi since new. The exhaust on all of them is clean. I have also ran it in my Husky/Redmax 580 BT blower for several years and it's mufflers clean despite having a rather large muffler mod.
I believe you when you state what your seeing, however that just hasn't been my expiereance..I also run the snot out of my stuff so there is that.
Tommorow if I have time, I will pull the muffler off my 550xp Mk2 and my 400C and post pics.

Lots of people say that they don't have any issue with it. I don't use it, so I have no idea what it would do in my saws. In used saws that customers send, I see a nasty mess from it.

No Amsoil in Croatia! :(

Take note, I am in Eastern Europe/Croatia.

Not sure for Amsoil....but are you sure that you are really living in Croatia? :)

Whenever I visit your (neigbouring) country....there is adequate supply of everything.

Ok except for Bosnian/Serbian Rakia.....since you are controling "smuggling" of it more regularly now... :bash:

We pull these around on public roads and no one seems to care.

Pick Your moonshine poison: sljivovica (plum), kruskovica (pear, double distilled), jabukovaca (apple, double distilled) and exotics like peach and cherry

I never noticed a lacking supply of "shine"!

And no, I am not living in Croatia - I just work there!

I forgot "Lozovaca" aka grape shine!
Loads of it as people stopped making their own wine yet have vines everywhere (my yard is littered with them)!

Pleasantly mild in taste and very yummy!

But you have beautiful women there.
Well, a fair percentage looks after themselves.
Though, many just look to get married, have kids and then let themselves go.

There is no such thing as inherent fatness!
Get Your lazy ass moving and melt those calories , and stop eating junk food & unhealthy snacks!
I am eating like a combine and I am holding a steady weight (yonder of 200lbs, true!), but I actually lost a couple pounds these couple past months.

But, the ones that look after themselves ARE truly beautiful!!! 😍
And I am not talking skinny "skin & bones" but rather naturaly volouptious where it matters.

There is a mystery here because FD is a synthetic
Not certain that’s true to meet fd it’s just a series of tests pass or fail says nothing about having to be synthetic. They test smoke, lubricity, cold flow ect. From what I was reading the largest difference between the fc and fd was smoke output measured with a photo sensor that reads light transmission through a box full of the engine smoke. Otherwise lube and flow characteristics are very similar fc to fd the plain old orange bottle Stihl oil that is sold in the USA is just fb rated but saws live a long time on it. The only engines that don’t love orange bottle is the 4mix but mostly the early ones they have made changes since then supposedly that allow orange bottle in them but still prefer the ultra here.
