Red Armor is available online everywhere, or Home Depot carries it in store and online.
Your car, truck, generator, and power washer are all 2-cycle? This chainsaw thread asks about the shelf life a fuel, period. For 2-cycle engines, consider mixed fuel to be garbage after 30 days. In a 4-cycle engine, it doesn't sit stagnant in the carb and knaw away at the rubber parts, or cause corrosion to aluminum with its moisture content. In a 2-cycle carb, its the sole reason for so many small engines not running after a short period of sitting.Echo Powerblend is legit JASO FD. Good to go.
I just rotated through 30 gallons of two year old non-E gas that had been stored in air tight metal cans, with a double dose of Stabil. Ran fine in the car, truck, generator, and pressure washer.
Can you use the code given in that list to determine the rating of the oil if it doesn’t say in the bottles container the official JASO rating?Here's the current JASO list, for any other oils you're curious about:

Sure, if you find the code and not the rating. In theory, the official JASO rating emblem on the bottle will include both the rating and the oil code.Can you use the code given in that list to determine the rating of the oil if it doesn’t say in the bottles container the official JASO rating?
I ask because there are a bunch of oils with the same name but different rating!
Hmm here is the front and back of one, it’s on the JASO list as FD but doesn’t have anything on the bottle? It’s down as tts and power 1?Sure, if you find the code and not the rating. In theory, the official JASO rating emblem on the bottle will include both the rating and the oil code.

So it’s the oil that causes two-stroke gas to go bad?Your car, truck, generator, and power washer are all 2-cycle? This chainsaw thread asks about the shelf life a fuel, period.

Ok thanks. Seems my question got a couple positive answers anyway.There's really no need to delete your thread. The information there might help someone else. That's why we have all these threads.
Not here and that is 1000 miles from me. Shipping would be a killer.Home Depot has Red Armor premix. All the canned fuels I looked at, except Stihl, are JASO FD oils. TruFuel costs a lot less.

Interestingly, I bought a quart of Red Armor and a gallon of Tru-Fuel and they not only look the same, they smell the same too.
Look for a date code on the cans. No telling how long these cans have been sitting around. Every time i see these in stores, alot of dust sitting on top of the cans sure might tell a story.I stand corrected, the local HD has 20 large cans in stock. Headed there tomorrow. Same price in quantity as well. I'll pick up 4.
