8.1 Mixing Fuel
This chainsaw requires a fuel mixture of gasoline
and two-stroke engine oil in a ratio of 50:1.
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
throughout the machine’s service life.
► Make sure that the octane number of the gas‐
oline is at least 90 RON and the ethanol con‐
tent is not more than 10%.
