what i,m not understanding is each brand name say,s if you use their oil. The mix is 50:1 but any other brand 40:1. Now in my research It looks like the MAHLE company makes all the jugs for stihl , husky,dolmar.etc. WHY can,t you run a different oil at 50:1 . It sound silly! but i,m not expert by any means. So is this just a way for that company to sell there name brand or is there some validity to the warning in my owners Manuel. I finale received my NEW MAKITA 6401 very happy :clap: but I have some hi-grade gas that as stihl oil in it and that's what got me to this ???? I have not put any fule or bar oil in her yet. thanks for your time for any one that know their oil.:dizzy:
 
Hmmm, lets think here. Why do companies have there own oil? To make $$$$$. I don't think it would be to wise to recommend the competitions oil and watch the money go to the comp. Do you?

If you put the right mixture of 2-stroke oil in the can, you are safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
All right :clap: and oil thread AND a brand war...... all in the same thread.


Can’t wait to see how this one turns out. :popcorn:
 
To heck with this kind of oil thread.... geez, get real guys!

The real question is:

What Saw Should I BUY to run all this oil in????

Tom Hall sells Stihl and he recommends Dapper Dan lubes. That right there ought to tell you something. Care for some gopher, Everett?
 
I like the double dog dare. well I did not think it mattered but who cares the saw runs great kick -ass not at all a candy -ass saw it must be the stihl oil in the gas. LOL.:greenchainsaw: :greenchainsaw:
