Can I use Husky fuel in a Stihl saw?

    I apologize if this has already been asked...

    Just like the title says, I'm always curious if there is a major difference between Husky and Stihl pre-mixed fuels? I typically purchase the cans of pre-mixed fuel out of pure laziness.

    I've had a hard time finding the Stihl pre-mix, which I normally use. But the shelves are always fully stocked with Husqvarna pre mix. Can I use it in my Stihl MS460? The Husky fuel is a little bit cheaper at my local Big R as well.

    Thanks, friends!



    The pic is just because everyone loves firewood in the back of a truck! It was a small, free delivery to the lady who watches my dog when I'm out of town. That's about all she burns in a typical winter.

    Will be completely fine. Your Stijl won’t know the difference.

    It's mostly just branding. I only use jaso class d oils. They are better than the class b or c oils. I also mix @32:1
    I used to mix 50:1, but saw light scuffing on pistons after hard use.
