I'm surprised they still bottle the Shin and Echo separately but I guess they don't want to confuse anyone .

I gave my oldest son a couple bottles of Shin oil with the 490 I gave him and told him not to worry just mix at 40:1 and kill some trees .

Ya I thought the same thing! I picked up that bottle maybe 3 years ago but havent tried it yet. About a gallon of h1r fuel left and then I'll try the RA!

Maybe u could find out for us from your buddy on the reformulation of Red Armor and why? Thanks

 

[PissRev]

it always comes back to price , doesnt it , as if thing are,nt dear enough already
wonder why it burns your eyes ,is the exhaust facing towards you or does it just drift into your eyes

Yes price does factor in the purchase. I don't know why it burns my eyes but I can get other oils that work just as good for cheaper and they don't burn my eyes.

I made a gallon of mix with the small bottle i got with my edger. I would say it was good stuff, it was FD rated.
