Â* Since all my 2 strokes are Stihl (except one 45 yr old Homelite
chainsaw) I buy their premeasured bottles . 12.8 oz per 5 gallons , I
use a 2.5 gal container and half a bottle . I also mix my gas (87 oct
reg and 92 oct premium , both non-ethanol) 50/50 since Stihl recommends
89 or better .
Echo also recommends 89/mid grade octane for their two-stroke machines.
I could never figure out why such low compression engines would need
anything more than regular grade 87 octane gas. Is pre-ignition really a
problem?
Echo also recommends using a higher grade of two stroke oil (ISO-L-EGD
(ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FD) instead of the cheap sludge I've always
used in my 1960's vintage 70 HP Evinrude outboard that's still running
like a champ.
Nonetheless, I've used the Echo-recommended oil in all my Echo lawn
tools and they too are working fine.
