STIHL MotoMix
STIHL recommends the use of STIHL
MotoMix. This ready-to-use fuel mix
contains no benzol or lead, has a high
octane rating and ensures that you
always use the right mix ratio.
STIHL MotoMix is specially formulated
for use in STIHL engines and
guarantees a long engine life.
MotoMix is not available in all markets.
Mixing Fuel
Gasoline
Use only high-quality
brand-name
gasoline with a minimum octane rating
of 90 – leaded or unleaded.
If your machine is equipped with a
catalytic converter, you must use
unleaded gasoline.
Gasoline with an ethanol content of
more than 10% can cause running
problems in engines with a manually
adjustable carburetor and should not be
used in such engines.
Engines equipped with M-Tronic deliver
full power when run on gasoline with an
ethanol content of up to 25% (E25).
Engine Oil
Use only quality two-stroke engine oil.
We recommend
STIHL two-stroke
engine oil since it is specially
formulated for use in STIHL engines
and guarantees a long engine life
.
If STIHL two-stroke engine oil is not
available, use only quality two-stroke oil
designed for use in air-cooled engines.
Do not use oils designed for water-
cooled engines or engines with a
separate lubricating system (e.g.
conventional four-stroke engines).
Use only
STIHL 50:1 two-stroke
engine oil
for the fuel mix in models with
a catalytic converter.
Mix Ratio
STIHL 50:1 two-stroke engine oil: 50
parts gasoline to 1 part oil

Fuel
For health reasons, avoid direct
skin contact with gasoline and
avoid inhaling gasoline vapor.
Unsuitable fuels or lubricants or
mix ratios other than those
specified may result in serious
damage to the engine. Poor
quality gasoline or engine oil may
damage the engine, sealing rings,
hoses and the fuel tank.
A few tankfuls of leaded gasoline
will greatly reduce the efficiency of
the catalytic converter.
