Petroleum engineers drill for oil, they don't make lubricants.
I woukd wager that Stihls design engineers know next to nothing about oil..
What's a case of Moslon Canadian going for these days?Busted , you got me
I remember going to the beer store in Kenora, ON and filling the bed of my truck With cases for my fishing lodge.
Had to get out of there ASAP once loaded so the natives didn't get any ideas.
$25 for case of 24 bottles @ Duty Free or $ 48 for the same at the beer store . Current Provincial Licencing changes will enable beer & liquor sales within corner stores shortly . I normally go through the Duty free monthly & purchase 3 cases for the beer fridge in the shop duty free .
That's surprising. I remember it being around that price in back in the early 2000's.
Sorry for the typo , $48 regular Beerstore Pricing for 24 bottles up North here . Yeah , its getting cheaper , due to the deregulating or privatizing program that is commencing Provincially . 30 Pack of cans are often on sale locally $54 @ Beerstore or $36 @ the Duty free . They also offer 3-5 case specials if your over 48 hrs Duty free which is the $25 a case of bottles or cheaper quote that i stated previously . P.S. During Moose Camp we often head accross into Quebec ( 20 miles) & get either Molson or Miller or Bud @ $ 24 a case lol.
That's why I added (or whatever they are called). I bet Stihl design engineers know how they want oil to perform in their equipment and are pretty specific. How it's put together they don't care but the testing is very precise but that is what they told me, I don't design equipment or oil.
I am sure did get a speel like that, but I also don't believe it.

Don't have time to write lots.
I'm on board with diver64.
Remember this is all personal preference.
If Stihl HP stinks to you, or you like something else better, then PLEASE don't use it!!!
If it works for you, great, use it!!!
If only because no engineer worth a damn would reccomend Stihl USA oils...
According to the SDS Canadian Ultra is the same as American.
Stihl 2T Premium according to the SDS is made by BP Lubricants USA (Castrol). API TC...
Out here you need weeks of training including radio coms and meet / pass other requirements, that alone is about $5000 plus flights and accomodation to get there, then you need insurance, and then you can’t take off in any public areas, only private land. At that point I gave up.
There have been a lot of negative comments about Project Farm, mostly based on the erroneous idea that one cannot get valid results in a garage or a backyard lab. Here is an alternate opinion about that topic in general. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/edition-4-building-backyard-lab-some-friday-james-ryall-ypbdc/
Good luck man. The odds of you convincing a group of rough and tumble lumberjacks and chainsaw guys about the validity of tests from a guy they don't like with a Linkedin article about some lady building a lab at her house is somewhere between zilch and nada. Good luck though.
That's coming from someone who does like Project Farm, we'll likely be changing our laundry detergent after his last video. Is it perfect testing? Of course not. Is it better testing than I would ever do myself? Absolutely.

Good perspective. My point is not even that I think Project Farm does everything right. The point is that the idea that the tests cannot be good because they are not done in a large company's lab is a bogus argument. I also watched Todd's video on laundry detergent. I am thankful that my TV does not have smell capability!
It's not impossible to get good results at home. Pf just isn't in many cases.
And yet you decried his work on several occasions based on where he did the work. Changing your tune now?
No, I am not.
What I said is that more or less copying industry standard tests at home is pointless and has less validity.
