not really interested in a pissing match over oil. but i would have to say that stihls' quality right now is as good, if not better than ever. and i am not talking about the cheap saws, they all have to produce a price-point saw. i am not bashing echo here, as i own several. but they aren't exactly setting the world on fire right now. their new 50cc saw is a joke compared to the 530, the 261 will eat that thing for lunch. why do you always have some dumb remark about stihl? it is ok to be #3 in the market, no one really cares, you like your brand and i like mine.
I'll stand by my remark about you don't know what kind of quality you get from Stihl, it could be top notch or close to the bottom ,. I'd have no idea if Stihl oil is any better than lower priced oil. I've alway said there is nothing wrong with Stihl pro saws. Steve
