I bought some at Lowe's not too long ago..do you have Lowe's home improvement stores in your area? But, like Redmud said, they all seem to work well enough for me. There are folks who will tell you all sorts of disaster stories but for the last 35 years, I have used any 2 cycle oil available in my chainsaws, weedeaters, outboards and lawnboy mowers with no ill effects whatsoever. The new squeeze bottles are handy to use, but i can't say the oil is all that much better. I have bought and used Pennzoil, Valvoline, Havoline, LawnBoy, Homelite and Stihl branded 2 cycle oils and all evidently work. I've never had an engine failure, fouled plugs, clogged exhausts from using these oils interchangably. My current outboard is a 5 horse 1951-53 Evinrude, I'm on my second Lawn Boy in 30 years, same Stihl 028 bought in 1981 and my fourth weedeater. The machines that were replaced wore out in the other areas...but the engines still ran fine. I always figured if outboard oil was sufficient for a $5000 150 horse boat motor, it would be fine in my $89 weedwhacker. So far, my theory has proved true.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
