    Anyone use this oil? Any good? Would you put it down your good saws?
    Used my last bottle of Stihl Oil and found a couple bottles of this in my shop. From research and my memory, you just chuck it in a gallon of gas and it doesn't matter what ratio your equipment calls for.
    It will probably be a week or so before I make a trip to the big city where I can get oil. Not planning on doing much sawing in the next week and have a tank full of gas in the 254 . I do have some 50:1 in my jug for the Stihl if I do need to do more sawing.
    The 254 is my favorite and go to saw.

    I bet it'll be just fine, but I'd use it my weedwhacker, not my Stihl saws. They always get the good expensive stuff.

    From research and my memory, you just chuck it in a gallon of gas and it doesn't matter what ratio your equipment calls for. Snake oil!!!!!! Ratio matters, if you equipment calls for 16:1 and you run 50:1=boom. The pic you posted states it is designed for 50:1, 40:1, 32:1, 16:1 ratios. That doesn't mean it chuck it in a gallon of gas and go.
