I know the manual says mix 87 octane or higher 40:1. Are there any benefits mixing with 89, 90 or 92 octane gas?

Here's the trick. Small, high compression engines like chain saws and weed eaters are designed to run 87 with no ethanol. Except in most places this doesn't exist anymore. Ethanol is added in just about all gas except the highest octanes at some gas stations (that's the way it is here in Wisconsin anyway). Running ethanol in your small engine will very likely cause damage to it. So the really important thing is to use gas with no ethanol no more than a two months old. In order to do that you may have to use a higher octane depending on where you live and what's available to you. My next chain saw may very well be electric. These small gas engines are touchy.

Usually just 87 octane but I try to get gas without ethanol to prevent long-term gumming up of the fuel system. This thing has been rock solid starting on any fuel so far.

Number one you need high octane fuel. The oil measure cup is in gas tank when you remove the fuel cap. The oil cup has screen in and will hold oil just long enough before drop it in for your mixture. Recommend use of proper gloves or perhaps needle nose pliers. Mixture may irritate you hands. Good light

Yes, unleaded 87 octane; I use Seafoam additive to ptotct against ethynol damage.

This is a 4-cycle engine, not a 2-cycle.That means no mixing oil with gas---you fill the oil pan like you do with your car.Instructions and a funnel are included. You use regular car oil--there is a chart for oil weight vs. temperatures.Cheap 10w30 is good for most purposes. I used a 5w40 synthetic oil because we are most likely to lose power in the winter, when its below freezing.

This does the same thing if you put in a higher concentration than recommended on the bottle. Every once in a while I put an entire bottle in the 9 gallon tank of my 2008 BMW R1200 GSA motorcycle to " Shock " the crud out of the engine. I put the normal quantity in every tank of gas to boos the octane as we ride at 9000-12,000 foot altitude in the remote Sangre de Cristo mountain range of Colorado. Google Westcliffe, Colorado.

Regular gas from the gas station. Though I'd recommend 93 octane with fuel stabilizer added if its going to sit for any amount of time.

When I use it my goal is to accomplish 93 octane for 16 gallons of California 91 octane top tier fuel. It appears to do that.

Engine. Funnel, and gas mixer. Don't use 10w 40 like they say works better with 2 cycle synthetic.

It runs just fine on 87 octane unleaded. Don't let the gas sit around too long without a long term stabilizer additive mixed in.

It all depends which you choose. The 2 stroke is the one you mix the oil/gas mixture. I prefer the 2 stroke they say there more reliable. Hope that helps..

final gasoline grade depends on which tuning you choose. I chose the 87 octane tune and have not really noticed any gas mileage inprovement. I combined the tune with a air intake system and the truck has move punch but not better gas mileage.

runs great on regular octane..the same one for the car...i believe 87 octane

Use regular unleaded fuel 87 octane,do not mix oil with gas.Oil goes separate in the crankcase, oil type 5W30.

Suzuki Marine 4 Cycle Engine Oil 10W-40. It does not mix with or burn with the gas. Its just like a car engine

The neck of the bottle has markings on it. You only have to squeeze the bottle until the neck fills to the one gallon line. Then pour that into a gallon of gas. My trimmer recommends using 91 octane. Very easy and near fool proof.

Yes, you definitely need the oil mix. You can get it pretty much anywhere. And I am sure its fine to use any grade gasoline, but 87 is what I use.
