    Exactly. And here is the proof right from the JASO site.

    I’m seeing a lot of mumbo jumbo and acronyms being tossed around in this thread. The oil is red, of course it’s good. Blue oil is also good. Any other color and not at 32:1 will destroy your machine.

    Actually the dye they put in it is red or blue. Oh and Eric Burdon is the Egg man, the Walrus is Paul.

    Don’t forget about purple. Grape flavor is good oil too

    Ahh purple. Isn’t that where you mix equal parts of the red and blue oil together?!:)

    I'm about 2 years late but here is my response. I've used it in chainsaw, blower, and weed eater. I feel... Very scientifically... That it runs hotter than I prefer, runs fairly clean, is overpriced, and is best reserved for winter months and mixed no leaner than 40:1. Not my favorite.

    Been using their cans of 40:1 to break in a new saw. It's a buck sheeper than Hoosky. Smells better than the Kawi stuff I been mixing but not as good as the Makita synthetic.
