I have 3 older Stihl chainsaws 201T,009L,041AV. The 041 smokes a lot. Just bought all 3 a month ago. I have been watching You-tube videos on 2 stroke oil…called CERMA. Anyone out there recommend this oil to use ? If not , What about AMSOIL or Royal Purple ? Any of them snake oil ? Over the years I've bought the cheap stuff and don't want to do that with these Stihls. I appreciate any of the help anyone can give me.

^^^What he said^^^
I hear Cerma two cycle oil is so good, you can cut with a completely dull chain.
That was painful.

And here all this time, I was thinking it was the chain, and not the oil, that determined just how well a chainsaw cut.

Wow I guess people are getting dumber and dumber .
Bob, any of the name brand or OEM oils "I prefer synthetic" will work fine.
We should try to get that guy and piltz together!

Does this brand of oil have any
That's hilarious! I was just going to mention Piltz on E-Bay and ask if there was a connection.

This one's even better.15,700 rpm. Wonder if they touched that high speed screw?
The 7:15 mark [emoji33] resting a saw WOT on his thigh one handed.
There always seems to be some conection between stupid people and folks starting saws with there right hand on the trigger and there left hand pulling the rope.
If that was my saw a log would be flying at him , not joking 
My guess is, the saw wouldn't start any other way, with it being tuned that lean.
I like Amsoil and its priced good too.

If you go with Amsoil use Saber and DO NOT mix it 100:1

Welcome to the forum. You can drive yourself crazy on the oil debate. I just use the Stihl HP and don't worry about it. I used the Stihl Orange bottle for 20 years and only switched because my dealer said the Orange would be phased out.
