You guys can keep dissing the STIHL Ultra. I'll keep buying it. BTW, it does have a fuel stabilizer already in it.

You and my neighbor. Every time he brings a Stihl product over that won't run, I clean out the exhaust screen, check the exhaust port and send him on his way.
Do you like the way it smells?

Yes. It smells like melted hot wheels tracks.
lol, hmmm, maybe I should try putting some in my granddaughter's Easy Bake Oven!
That's an interesting observation - that's all that I used to use and never experienced that. I've since moved onto other oils though and of course still don't have any issues.
I've tried finding images online to see if it says there is stabilizer in it but can't find anything.
The JASO FB oils usually have higher flash point that's why they smoke more because cannot burn fully and they also have ash which helps lubrication. But that also means those oils lubricate better at higher temperatures. That's why they are recommended for chainsaws and vintage bikes.
The FC/FD oils that don't smoke much and burn fully have always lower flash point.

For those that want to beat the stihl ultra and other jaso fd oils into a pulp try this. Take any crap chainsaw and ran the crap out of it with stihl ultra. Get it hot and run it like you want it to blow up. Then tear it down. You will find a slight oil film on the top and parts, and the bottom end will be nearly bone dry. Hardly any shine.
Do the same with echo red armor, vp racing, amsoil, or husky xp oil, and you will find a nice film on your top end, and a very slick layer on all of the bottom end maybe ever a small pool of oil in the bottom.
For me I have not done this on a chainsaw but have on echo gt 225, and a pb 8010 blower
