just went down to service station and bought 1 litre/ quarterish gallon.....$22
I know it will last for ages at 30/1 in the chainsaw but that price shocked me.
I could have bought a 250 ml/1 cup sized container at $9

You got a bargain Elvis, $36 worth of 2 stoke oil for just $22.

What ever happened to $8 a quart?

well...thats one way of looking at it

Cheapest non synthetic 2 stroke here is $25 for 5 litres.
20 lt was around $110 last time I checked.
I use around 750ml in 145 lt of diesel to aid lubricity.
The wipper snipper and chainsaw use 50 / 1 so the expensive 1 litre bottle of husqvarna 2 stroke lasts ages.

Two Stroke oil is like all other oils...getting damned expensive these days.

The oil I use in my whipper snipper (weed whacker) cost me about $9 for a litre (2.2 Imp pints) and as Pete says, at 50:1 it will last a goodly period of time. On the other hand, the oil I use in my motorcycles is a different kettle of fish. I use Castrol R30 in one bike at around $25 - $30 a litre and Fuchs Comp 2 Pre Mix at $20 a litre (12 years ago - I bought enough to last me a while, but I have very little left now). The Castrol R30 I mix at 25:1 and I mix the Fuchs Comp 2 at 33:1, so when I get the chance to take my bikes out I use a fair bit of the oil. Haven't had the chance to take either bike out for quite some time though.

ahh well cut trailer load of wood and got it into the shed so family will be warm for a while longer. will head out and get more tomorrow, got to love the sound/smell of a Stihl ripping through a log

I love my Stihl saws I use the Stihl synthetic oil. I use in both saws my leaf blower and weed wacker..

hmmmm it gets worse, 2nd weekend of cutting the saw packed a sad didnt like the oil at all when mixed 30/1 as per what supposed to do if not using "brand 2 stroke" $56 later the spark arrestor and muffler are de gunked and back going fine again....now having heated discussions with oil company as their brochure states oil is died green and what I got is not !!!! so we out of pocket close to $100 with fuel included and dipstick from Jaffaland who finally got back to me offered a 4litre pack of oil..... FFS I might go through a litre a year and bought genuine Stihl product when picked saw back up...I wont be using shell/orica/Z service station oil again. told "it prepacked in Singapore I think it is"


bunch of dipsticks

rant over.

For saws 'n wackers? Amsoil 100:1.

For 2T dirt bikes? Motul 710 2T.

Look no further. I've already done all the testing!
