3 backpack blowers (echo, stihl, shindaiwa)
1 Lawnboy 2 stroke
Never once did any of them break down. Not once, used multiple times per day during growing season. I still have a BP blower and weedeater, both over 10 years old, still using Amsoil at 80:1. Argue all you want about 50:1, 32:1, 100:1 all I hear is "my dealer told me to use 50:1 because that is what is on his shelf"
The Amsoil 2 cycle oil by comparison has a heavier viscosity versus other 2 cycle oil. Could this be of some value. Reason what type of synthetic base stock does Amsoil 2 cycle oil use as they do promote as less emissions and wear protection.
