Stihl 4-mix engine oil

[teacherman]

Say what you want, it has been documented by Stihl that Ultra was formulated for the 4mix engine.

So now I need to keep a small can for my string trimmer, as I transition to Red Armor for everything else. Oh, well. Life can be inconvenient...

I mean it takes the bad points of both engines and combines them. No upside at all.

You and I might disagree on what oil to run in them, but we at least agree not to run them if given an option

I ran a 130 for many years with the 4mix engine. 50:1 stihl moto mix then later on Redarmor pre mix at 50:1. Zero issues with either fuel. It saw fairly extensive use in the spring and summer. Only thing I ever changed out was spark plug, air filter, fuel filter. Just my 2 cents.

When it comes to the types of equipment 4mix engines are used in Redmax or the Husky badged Redmax's are the only way to fly. Way more durable and just as powerful. Echo/Shindaiwa are good too, although Shindaiwa stuff is typicly underpowered.

I have nothing but praise for my echo srm 2320t. I can't say that about husqvarna trimmers with the floppy anti vibe control handles.

You have to get the Husky branded redmax stuff. The regular Husky stuff isn't that great.

this maybe why Stihl brought out a 1L bottle to mix in Stihl bottle

sounds like you were running it like it was meant to be run

Well 2nd season running my KM91 4mix on 32:1 Red Armor. Started right up and still plows through tough grass. I guess I need to see if it is experiencing any carbon buildup but it runs too good to mess with it right now.

2 years worth of my own firewood as well as a few for the neighbor each year. I figure about 20 gallons of fuel.

Hated Scamsoil with a passion because of their bs claims until I tried Dominator
