Title: OIL MIX HUSKY STIHL
Post by: minesmoria on November 12, 2004, 09:36:02 PM
THE HUSKY MAKES TWO KINDS OF 2 CYCLE OIL WHITE BOTTLE AND BLACK XP OIL THEY SAY THE XP HAS MORE ADDITIVES BETTER FOR THE ENGINE.

STIHLS THE SAME WITH WHITE ORANGE AND BLACK BOTTLES.

DO YOU THINK THE XP OIL IS ANY BETTER FOR THE ENGINE THAN THE REGULAR WHITE BOTTLE.

My Stihl dealer only sells one oil.

Premium two stoke.  White bottle, black lid.

Maybe the premium oil has the fuel stabilizer (like Sta-Bil) already in it?  I hope somebody posts a correct reply because I put Sta-Bil or something similar in my straight gas anyway.  Seems our heat & humidity here is hard on gas.

Y'all be careful.

The Stihl oil i get is the premium 2 stroke, and yes, it has a stabilizer in it.

  I use Husky oil, and my dealer carries both, the white bottle and the black bottle.

  The black bottle has the Sta-bil already in the oil, the white doesn't.

  I buy the black bottles, (gallon) and haven't had any problems at all.
