What oil is best? and what ratio?

[Woodwater]

Yes that the engine is faster killed.

Some people even say that if you have Stihl, you have to use their oil, etc

Yep the uneducated do, but still lots of 70’s era stihls that are running still after stihl orange their whole life and window screen for an air filter

True. But I've taken a great many of those apart that have the exhaust port halfway blocked with carbon, and a carbon scored piston with the intake side worn thin. They still ran.....but not well.

Yeah I need to look at my uncles 041 he bought new in 1981 or so, this being said I am switching to amsoil also in my stuff. And I’m sure it will be dominator after I use up the saber I got.

That had nothing to do with engine size it’s just their oil vs a quality regular 2 cycle oil fb rated. Same as Stihl used to say 40:1 stihl oil or 25:1 with others.

My 390xp's manual had similar verbiage and mentioned jaso FC/FD IIRC.
When the 288 was out FB was probably the highest quality JASO oil. FC didn't come out until the late 90's IIRC.

When my gallon of red armor is gone I might switch to whatever the flavor of the year is. So far so good with the red armor though. I’m not gonna hoard different flavors of oil though

Just use boat oil. Yeah....that's the hot new thing.

But only if the oils made from recycled automotive oil.

Our first was Mixol of Jaso Fa class or lower Interestingly, there are still many labels with this name, although it is known that it was poor

I have some red 50:1 Makita oil coming in.
They couldn't tell me for sure how much is available, maybe a dozen bottles - I said I'd take all they have left.

Since you work in Croatia...this (Slovenian) company also delivers its inventory on Croatian market....try their oils (Ramda 2t Pro is HusqXP knockoff and Ramda 2t is HusqLS+)
