Who makes Homelite 2 stroke oil?

While cleaning out the garage for a yard sale I found a bottle of this enough to mix probably at least 3 gallons of gas with. Who knows when or where I bought it. Says its for air cooled engines yada yada.

I usually buy stihl or echo branded oil when Im in need. Just curious if this would be ok since its probably fairly old. I have stihl, echo, and shindiawa 2 strokes and I run them all out of the same gas can.

G Oil does now. If it's older than two or three years then I don't know. Still good? Well, how old are you?

Is it still sealed? See any lumps or anything else unusual?

strictly my opinion, but no way id use it, id stick to what youve been buying based on your equipment. i would donate that oil to a neighbor with a lesser quality machiene, and youll both feel warm & fuzzy inside. then again im sure ppl use boat oil in their trimmers/chainsaws, etc..but like i said, my opinion & not me

Part of the bottle has been used so its not sealed. It looks fine to me visually. I bet its 10 years old. It was kept in my basement which is climate controlled all of this time if that matters. I think its probably ok to use but I will test it on my worst piece of equipment first just to be sure. I hate to waste oil of any kind as expensive as it is.

Should be ok in something older. Let us know how it goes.
