Mike Stihl Tech told me 90 on start, 90 on run, and then loaded cuts to recalibrate? Ive heard just 90 on start and then cut and then the way I just stated
90 on start is what the manual showed. I didn't reset it. Just put fuel in it and started making cuts.

5 winter 40
5 when cold 40 when warm
i use 15w40 year round because it never seems to get bitter cold here.
but in the summer engines perform best with a monograde like sae 30 or 40
because they are not as likely to shear like multi weight oils.

Fill up when you come across a cheap fill station.

Stopped at the echo dealer I mentioned the other day. Along with the 2.6 and 6.4oz bottles of RA they also had the 13oz and gallon jugs. The 13's are $5.95 and gallons are $52.95. I grabbed a couple 13's and some plugs!
