Well i'm done reading all 46 pages of this thread/debate and some rudeness, to me it's all good, I have used Husky orange bottle, Opti-2 (many years in trimmers) and you know I thought Stihl being a top line company they must have good oil (HP Ultra) which is what I have been using for a few years now, in everything. I know nothing about all the ratings and additives you all talk about. But my little Stihl 180C, (2015) with only a single tuning screw on the carb, would not get to full rpm, always seemed rich and smoky, I was running it at 55:1 (HP Ultra). So as I read on here and since I have purchased an Echo CS-310, CS-590, CS-620. I recently decided to get some Red Armor. Mixed it at 50:1, dumped the old gas (prem. non-eth w/sta-bil) put in the red armor gas/oil fired up the MS-180 it right up as always, within a few seconds it was screaming like never before, can't believe oil would make the difference. I also put a 14" bar and 3613 005 050 Stihl (yellow) chain. I'm done Stihl Ultra, I still have some opti-2 from years ago may try it again. Love you guys and this forum, great info, Thank you.
