Why not just use regular oil mix and not worry about it?

Fish is a dinosaur and he`s trying to set up his retirement.
MX2T has a very slight amount of color and unfortunately it seems to be the same color as pump gas around here.
There are several companies who make suitable dyes, but the only one whom I`ve found to sell it in less than 55gallon quantities is Sandy Bray Labs. Unfortunately I put their phone number in a safe place and I can`t find it, LOL.
Fish, didn`t you learn anything about how the ester base used in MX2T disolves carbon? I think that you are just trying to stir the pot! BTW, glad that you found your way back.

Here's what I do: I'm very careful to label what is in each can and when I mixed it.
If I don't know for sure if what I have is OK, I put it in one of the tractors or something, and start over.
I tried MX2T, mostly just to see if it smelled good. Too spendy, and hard to find. I've been buying Citgo semi-synth oil lately; can't beat the price and it meets the mfgr requirements, easy to get.

I with the man on this one. If you are doing a hotsaw, that is different. Use the regular Stihl, Husky, Echo, etc for normal everyday use.

Thats not a supprise, Stihltech. You also hawk the overpriced, underperforming oem oil.
