Does your wife know you left the good morning thread Phil.I hear Brett has a genie and a lamp, so be ready for the loader just in case he rubs that thing and says abracadabra.
well that didn't come out quite right , but you know what I mean.

Which Terry are you referring to?Terry told me in a phone conversation(this month) do not run stihl ultra at anything richer than 40:1. He said the saws will have a lot of build up if you do. Even though that is what he recommends 40:1 for most saws, he said this is probably overkill, but it works for him.
Great tips guys.
I just buy the 2.5 gal bottles(when I buy them) and use most of it in a 2 gallon can, no perfection here. I've never had a problem with a saw unless I ran it at 40:none LOL, I did that to my old 346ne.

@Wood Nazi You snob!
I'd never turn down free wood unless it was punky or one of those stinky species.
That's how I do it. Hard to beat a ratio rite.
I have a feeling I will be switch from stihl ultra to amsoil. More protection and more oil for the $.
Disclaimer: I am not trying to start an oil thread, though I do read them all.
Amsoil Sabre is probably the most controversial oil on this site, some love it and some hate it. I honestly have been swayed right and left so much that I now set perfectly in the middle with WTF look on my face. LOL
Added: I do totally disagree with the 100:1 ratio.
Haha 100:1 is madness, I dont care what the bottle says. But amsoil saber at 40:1 should be good. Although the oil threads make me shake my head and think WTF as well.
Sorry meant Randy, haven't talked to Terry in a while.Which Terry are you referring to?
I just bought two pints of Stihl ultra because I could't find the good Husky oil anywhere.
Welcome.A Huge thanks to Brett for talking my ear off for 10 hours and making the tractor trip possible and enjoyable. I love my new Kubota, I just need to find a loader for it.
LOL.Sorry meant Randy, haven't talked to Terry in a while.
If I say which Randy I might be in the band .
You should be fine as long as you don't go richer than 40:1.

I saw those linked on one of these sites, and bought one. I like it.
I used to use stihl one shots but both value and flexibility have made me buy a litre of super and a very large syringe to measure it out. My modest scrounging meant I gallon of fuel lasted too long, now I have the flexibility to make just a litre or 3.
No biggie SVK.LOL.
Now I am sitting on 2 pints of Stihl oil doubting my purchase. Maybe I will burn it in my outboard.
In seriousness I will burn it but I am surprised to hear it has problems richer than 40:1. But these guys spend way more time researching than I do so I'll take their word.
I've got no issues with any Randy east of the Mississippi.
This should be more of a concern than what I was talking about above.I usually do a gallon or .8 gallon at once then mix up a new batch and throw the rest in if it is getting down there or has sat for a bit. If it has sat more than a season it goes in the truck.
