You got a bad old bottle, I’ve never heard or seen this and no matter how much the internet advises against ultra tons of people use it including lots of the pro tree service guys and not one has ever said anything of the mix turning orange or smelling sour after being mixed for a couple weeks.
Only saws are one year going to two for homeowners, blower, trimmers ect go 2 to 4 and I’m glad someone cleared this up to keep the information straight2 x 2 years = 4 years for FS trimmers.
If anyone is interested...
Legacy chainsaw technologies apparently are quite unreliable, since there is such a difference in warranty length between them and those with batteries.
And indeed, the warranty is doubled only for non-professional users. In addition, the warranty provides for many exceptions, which are described in a rather long document.
For all STIHL gasoline powered machines (with the exception of STIHL TS cut-off machines, GS concrete cutter
pressure washers, and top handle chain saw models) sold on or after January 1, 2012 that are used for
personal non-income...
That makes sense, and is what I would have said if I hadn't read this on Stihl's site.
I’ll dig into this some but will almost certainly say this response wasnt the proper one.
Ok sounds good.
