......like Stihl. Do you chainsaw guys think it is worth the money, or will the "cheap" stuff do just as good?

I use the good stuff. Actually switched to full synthetic several years ago and haven't blown a saw up since.

It finally started to look at it this way. If you don't use it much, it doesn't cost much more to use the good stuff. If you use it a lot, you need the extra protection of the good stuff .

Definitely buy brand name 2 cycle oil. My dad learned the hard way.

Considering that Stihl doubles their warranty time if you by their oil with a new saw should make ya think. I use mostly Stihl oil in my saws and weed eaters. If I cant get that, Castrol GTX is fine as well. As I don't cut a lot in the summer month, I put some Stabil in the fuel as well. No need in the winter as I go through the stuff pretty fast then

Same here. I used to watch my dad fight boat motors, saws, and weed eaters with cheap oil.

I use Stihl synthetic and have had 0 issues even after storage

If not mistaken, the Stihl 2 stroke oil has fuel stabilizer in it. I will read a bottle I have in the work truck tomorrow.

When in doubt, check Project Farm.

I used Amzoil for 40 yrs with no problems and now I use Stihl. I'm a firm believer in synthetic oils.

Amsoil Sabre is rated to 100 to 1 and can be used at any ratio from 100 to 1 down to 50 to 1

For those of you that have ever raced a 2 stroke Moto , you know what I'm talking about

This one smells great , so I run it in my Stihl chainsaw and trimmer

Commercial fished crab pots for about four years with a 2-stroke Yahama. Used WalMart two cycle oil with no problems. Engine had oil injection thus I didn't have to mix it.

lots of different labels and claims on them oil cans only a few refineries and labs that make oil.

I used to get Yamalube bulk and ran it in snowmachines, saws, whatever was two stroke. When they quit selling it in bulk around here went Castrol, have ran a little bit of Walmart brand, but know a couple guys who blew up snowmachines running it. I siezed up a saw, no idea if was the oil or not, I've siezed them running Stihl or other oil when they start sucking air, but I quit running the Walmart stuff. Castrol isn't much more expensive when I buy it at Napa by the case, and I used to pick up a couple to three cases a winter when I had a 2 stroke snowmachine. Running a four stroke now, but been running Castrol in my saws for the last few years, takes a long time to go through a case of oil in a power saw.

By the way, Yamalube stinks. Never bothered me, but I got comments if someone was following me when I ran it in my snowmachine.
