    Why do you makeup 3 different ratios? Old equipment that says 25:1 is due to the quality of oil at the time not the lubrication requirements of the machine. A decent oil like Stihl Super or even Ultra will be fine in all machines at 50:1

    • I was wondering about this. I have an old flymo that states 25:1 so I was mixing it special for the mower. So it will run fine on 50:1?

        Depends on the age. I know stihl 25:1 iis okay on 50:1 as long as its not mineral oil.

    Thank you Seth and John.  

    I have been going by the fuel caps and it is a pain. I have some mixing bottles so was only making small amounts but I don't like having fuel hanging around too long. Just bought a 4 stroke strimmer si that is 1 less to mix for.

  • I find the stihl one shot stuff pretty poor to be honest. I use husqvarna synthetic XP two stroke it is expensive but machines run smoothly and quiter on it.and my danarm strimmer is four years old and still running fine
