Mixing Fuel

This chainsaw requires a fuel mixture of gasoline and two-

STIHL recommends you use STIHL MotoMix.
If you mix the fuel yourself, use only STIHL two-stroke
engine oil or another high-performance engine oil in
accordance with JASO FB, JASO FC, JASO FD, ISO-L-
EGB, ISO-L-EGC or ISO-L-EGD.
STIHL specifies STIHL HP Ultra two-stroke engine oil or an
equivalent high-performance engine oil in order to maintain
emission limits over the machine's service life.
