Mrx02 is made for MX bikes. Not O P E.

Umm.....it says 2-stroke fuel.....not MX fuel
Also...Dirtbikes and Quads are O. P. E. as well! "OUTDOOR" "POWER" "EQUIPMENT" You can argue the semantics all you like, but the facts will remain the same!

I run Dominator in my air-cooled 2-stroke '74 Yamaha RD350. I've got a pile of money in that engine - I did my research in '09 and picked the best oil I could find. Saber would've worked great as a premix too, but I wanted to keep the OE oil injection, and Saber was a bit too thick. Also, the pump was designed to run at 50:1 or heavier - Dominator was the perfect oil for that. I've run the bike 6k HARD miles over the years, and compression is still triple digits cold, exactly what it was after the rebuild break-in period was done.

Dirt bikes and quads are not Outdoor Power Equipment. They are OHV's.
The facts are clearly lost on you, but don't take my word for it. Call VP and ask what the intended application is.

OHV = Narrow Scope Discriptor
O P E = Wide Scope Discriptor
LoL, Arguing semantics will not prove your point!

Dominater is great for a chainsaw boss. Legit. Likely one of the best out there. Mastermind has switched to it. Several others have as well. Fella named egg shooter did some testing for fun. Dominater was basically the best out there

Mastermind? Never heard of her.

Why don't you just call VP. They do off a line of O PE fuels. And the one you linked isn't one of them.

Ya'll lost me on the topic.
And seeing this is a firewood forum...
What is the 2021/2022 preferred two stroke fuel mix for newer pro chain saws?
(Edit: Page #56 is the only page I've read, and did not want to go through previous pages, having read as much crap as I did on this one. So if there is good information previously, I've missed it.)
I've been using Stihl oil mix for thirty years, most recently their synthetic, in Stihl and Husqvarna saws.

 

[OM617YOTA]

If it's worked for 30 years, keep doing what you're doing.

If I was mixing my own these days, it'd be Yamalube aircooled or Echo Red Armor.

More importantly, TUNE TUNE TUNE. Whatever batch of eleven herbs and spices you decide on, TUNE your saw for what you run.

Condensed version....

The Stihl Silver bottle oil is a JASO FB rated oil. It was designed to solve an issue with Stihl 4 mix engines. It is not the BEST oil to be used in a regular 2 stroke engine, especially if mixed stronger than 50:1.

Really, you're looking for a JASO FC, or even better and FD rated oil. Ive picked up and am going to try Maxima Super M, Red Line All Sport, Echo Red Armor and Lucas Semi Syn. If you want to step up from those, to a non rated oil but ones that get high nods from whomever in the know... Yamalube 2R, Maxima K2, Klotz Original Techniplate. Klotz R50 is good oil as well, but seems to gum up if you're not running the saws hard. The issue, as I understand it, going to a "better" non rated oil isn't always a good idea. Racing oils are designed to be used in engines that get torn down, so they lack some of the anti corrosion properties, and detergents you'll find in an FD rated oil.

"Racing oils are designed to be used in engines that get torn down, so they lack some of the anti corrosion properties, and detergents you'll find in an FD rated oil."
Exactly, at last. Now just use what the manufacture advises, it will work honestly. And if you blow a saw up I would look at what your doing wrong. Tune and learn to tune right, then keep a chain sharp and then listen to your engine. EASY

This is what was recommended by the manufacturer. No thanks

I run what manufacturer doesn't recommend at ratios that make the epa get triggered.
