Hey all got a question for ya....
im sure its been beat to death but anyhow here goes....
i have been running 50:1 mix in my stihl 025 without any problems ....but i see some folks saying they use 40:1...
im am going to get a new saw here pretty soon i beat the death outa that 025
either an ms 362 or a 441
would it be better to run a 40:1 mix in the new saw i get...
heres what stihl says...
Thanks for your E-mail and your interest in STIHL products.
All STIHL products now use a 50:1 mixture of gasoline and 2-cycle, air
cooled engine oil. This is one gallon of 89 or higher octane gas mixed
with 2.6 ounces of a name brand, 2-cycle, air cooled engine oil.
Please know that ALL of our oils are designed to be used with a 50:1
mixture. Mixing too much oil in the gasoline can cause its own set of
problems. It can cause a buildup of carbon on the piston and rings that
can build up, break off and score a piston or it could cause the rings
to stick which can lead to a lose of compression.
I could not recommend using any mixture other than 50:1.
I hope this helps and if I can be of any further assistance, please let
me know.
Sincerely,
