Hi everyone,
I have been using Stihl HP Ultra (silver bottle) two cycle oil in my power equipment for many years without incident. I recently went to purchase a six pack of the 2.6 oz bottles and I noticed some changes to the formula, I think!
The first thing that I noticed is that it does not mention a fuel stabilizer additive as part of the oil package and the second thing that I noticed is that the Stihl website claims that the oil is biodegradable in 21 days. Here is their exact wording " This fully synthetic oil is also highly biodegradable, degrading by 80% in 21 days. "
Someone posted a question about the 21 day window on the Stihl oil review page, and they responded noting that once the oil is mixed with gas, you have 21 days. Here is the exact response from Stihl
"Hello and thank you for the question. That is after the oil is mixed with the fuel and the mixture is exposed to the atmosphere. Thank you for choosing STIHL!!"
I will not use a gallon of pre mix in a month, so using this oil I assume is no longer an option? I am reading this correctly, right?
What does the collective think of Amsoil Sabre? Other good oils that have a fuel stablizer?
Thank you!
