Mobil 1 Racing 2T NO MORE

[Lakeside53]

Ultra

Stihl Ultra is made by Castrol in Italy. It's partly the reason for the price - Euro to $US converion sucks.

 

[Lakeside53]

Bailey's stated they can not take Internet orders on certain saws, but they will gladly TAKE orders over the PHONE.
So people will just have to learn to dial a phone again.

This won't last long, unless Husky corp is really screwed up :monkey:.

Sure, Baileys lowers their profile.. but continues to advertise by Web and catalog, and says "call us", but nothing really changes. Sure glad I'm not a Husky dealer

Heck I would go back to running the Blue Poulan 100% synthetic and Dino oils both at $5 a 20oz, before paying the steal you blind prices.

.

So... you say you just cut for fun.. so how much oil do you use in a year?

Nah!!!!! Klotz R-50 @ 32:1 with a little sunoco,,,, Now that smells really good !!!!!:hmm3grin2orange:

The super high price is the first thing that comes to mind.....

Amsol pure synthetic less than half the price of Stihl HP Ultra, I've been running it for awhile now and keeping an eye on the pistons and cylinders... they are staying clean no carbon build up.... So why pay more?

I'm a little Leary of Amsoil. I probably just had a bad rep but the marketing :censored: he was feeding me left me with no confidence. 100:1 ratio can't be good, first since your jetting is based on the air to fuel ratio and oil displaces fuel when mixed it's going to through your jetting off. Second I've seen studies done on a dyno with different fuel oil ratios and anything past 50:1 started losing power because the oil on the cyl walls helps seal the rings. I've never wanted to try it so it may offer enough protection but I know the other oils I've recommended work great and haven't caused significant carbon build up in my motors.

Hey, Elmore, I assume you got an answer back from Exxon/Mobil too. Mine was a real person answer, but the words seem a bit hollow.

Basically, it was a "I'll pass it along upstairs, and keep using other Mobil 1 products"

Now who on this earth would listen to you???:deadhorse:

 

[eyolf]

I checked: I can have 11 cases of (12) pints for a measly $400, if I take 'em all. Otherwise its $4.19 a pint at the only mobil station within an hour or more.

I'll stay with Citgo oil. Gallon jug for under $13 down at the farm store...even with today's prices.

For 98% of us, any oil that says "API TC, Jaso FC" on the label will be dandy. For 75% of us, oil that says "API TC, JASO FA/FB" will be acceptable.
And for those few that occasionally fire up the antiques, Just about anything is OK...there isn't anything like plain old straight 40 non-detergent Dino bones at 12:1 on a frosty morning!

Kinda like shooting a punkin-lobber...ya gotta wait for the smoke to clear!

 

[rbtree]

I located some at the second closest Autozone. They're gonna line up all they can for me from other nearby stores. I still have about 12 quarts from cleaning out my local store and ordering 2-3 more cases last spring...hope to be able to score a few more cases.

Great product, great price....shame it's going away.

 

[rbtree]

And this come a week after Baileys web sites says "no more Husky sales on-line". What's RBTREE going to do???

Mark...I haven't got a response one. I guess they are not responsive to progressive conservatives like me and Dan...heh heh
It may be because I suggested that they keep an eye on this thread so that they can feel our love for Racing 2T and they may not have liked my rant about "Corporate Stewardship".
It distresses me that a fine product like this will go the way of the Dodo but I have tried to mobilize the forces here on AS in order to send the message to Exxon Mobil Corporation that we like Mobil 1 Racing 2T and we purchase it. True their gasoline is not top tier and many other conventional automotive motor oils seem to have better technical data numbers but their synthetics including Racing 2T are without a doubt top notch.
My next step was to seek and obtain. I now have seven full quarts plus a partial quart and two gallons of mix.
I will continue this endeavor in hopes that they will see the mistake that they are making in discontinuing 2T. Maybe if we continually contact them in this regard they will have a change of heart. Call and send e-mail to them. Let them know that we want their product.
If 2T is not available I will find another product that meets my 2-cycle lubrication needs and Exxon Mobil will not get my money.
They should send me a commission check for this sudden surge of sales of Mobil 1 Racing 2T. I bet they broke sales records today.

Omni Specifically told me they mix Stihls Ultra in house to Stihls specifications. In Europe Castrol makes Stihls oil, however they do not ship it to the U.S.

 

[Lakeside53]

Stihl tells me they import the Ultra oil.... from Castrol. Is it imported in it's final form? Don't know. It's likely omni packages it as they package all of Stihl's oil in the usa. I think we're splitting hairs.

Yup who knows how they make the final product.
