Experience tells me this forum will get good responses. Bought new Stihl product today. Says 50:1 fuel mix. Dealer till recently also sold Echo and Husqvarna. Dealer says use 50:1 in all of them regardless of age of product. I have 2 Echo saws several years old and the instructions with them say 20:1. Old McCollugh and Sears Weed Wacker (Emerson-Poulan) say use 16:1. Really old Homelite saw says use 12:1 in some circumstances (I use 16:1). My older Stihl says use 40:1 and my Husqvarna saw says use 50:1 (I have been using 40:1 for convenience). The dealer says the oil is improved and the recommendations have changed as a result. I have been using three fuel cans for my stuff. 40:1 for the Stihl and Husky, 20:1 for the Echos and 16:1 for the Weed Wacker, Homelite, and the McCullough. What are your experiences and suggestions?
