Most STIHL gasoline-powered equipment runs on a 50:1 mixture of gasoline and 2-cycle engine oil.
Unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 89 is recommended. A lower octane can cause some issues, such as increased engine temperature, increased piston seizures, and engine damage.
Q: How do I mix gas and oil? A: Mix 3.2 ounces of Poulan 2-cycle air cooled engine oil to one gallon of fresh unleaded gasoline to obtain the recommended 40:1 fuel to oil ratio.
Use a 40:1 two-cycle oil mix ratio. One gallon of gasoline combined with 3.2 oz of two-cycle engine oil. Unsure of the age of your equipment?
For a 50:1 ratio of gas to oil, use 2.6 fluid ounces of oil per gallon of gas.
Absolutely. 10w40 is thick enough to mostly stay on the chain. Regular bar and chain oil have additives that keep the oil from slinging off the chain. This is why it is always recommended to use regular chain oil.
STIHL recommends that customers use a minimum of 89 octane fuel. If a customer chooses to use a 91 or 93 octane fuel, no damage to the engine will result. However, using an 87 octane fuel could lead to serious engine damage.
Pre-mixed 2-cycle fuel comes with the chainsaw. To mix your own fuel you must obtain a 50:1 (or 2%) mixture ratio, pour 2.6 ounces of 2-cycle synthetic oil into one gallon of fresh unleaded gasoline.
Yes. All gas-powered chainsaws need gas mixed with oil in order to work correctly. The mixed gas ensures the smooth operation of the engine by providing lubrication and reducing its temperature to manageable levels. This is achieved by mixing oil and gas in specific ratios.
Chainbar Lubricant SAE 40 is a heavier viscosity tacky, chainsaw/bar lubricant formulated from high quality base oils to provide superior chain and bar protection, condition seals and reduce sling off. BENEFITS: Excellent adhesion to the chain and bar. High level of protection ensures longer bar and chain life.
50 to1 means 50 parts of gas to 1 part of oil. So the 40 to 1 mixture is more oily and provides better lubrication for your piston rings. The downside is it will foul out your spark plug sooner, but that`s no big deal because it`s simple to pull the plug out and clean it and stick it back in.
Mix at 50:1 (20mls oil per 1 litre fuel) when you`re using STIHL 2-Stroke oil. To prolong the life of your 2-Stroke fuel mix you can add STIHL fuel stabiliser to extend the fuel`s shelf life up to 12 months. 15ml of STIHL fuel stabiliser will treat 5 litres of fuel.
A 100ml bottle is suitable for mixing with 5 litres of fuel to achieve a 50:1 fuel-oil ratio.
