Black Max Synthetic 2-Cycle Need Feedback Pls

[HammerDown]

Question for the oil pros:
For my very old Eager Beaver Weed Wacker and Eager Beaver Leaf Blower with 'McCulloch engines' I have religiously been using and blending Walmarts TC-W3 (ashless) to 40:1
Yesterday I go in to purchase more TC-W3 and I see this Black Max synthetic blend on 'clearance-sale'.
Never used it, never seen it before and it appears the bottle is sunken-in like it's been sitting for a long time.
Also, no JASO etc rating.
I called the 1800 # and the rep tells me "the oil doesn't have a shelf life"... I question that.
Use it or return it... I don't want to damage my old-trusty Eager Beaver/McCulloch 40:1 engines... thanks for your feedback!

When I click on the SDS for this oil I get an SDS of Redmax, use the oil and post back. You have been using Walmart TC-W3 that has been working great for you, and you buy another 2 stroke oil.

I have a 2 stroke oil that has been working great since 1997, or is it 1998, I would not go 2 a different oil.

Good Luck!

Use it. There's a ton of this stuff under hundreds of labels floating around. Spectrum Corporation probably makes the stuff and bottles it for a few dozen companies under some pretty cheezy names. Two bucks for a pint of leaf blower oil is a good bargain. I wouldn't use it in your moto GP bike but for a Saturday mow and blow you'll be looking good.

I've used it in my predator auger, it screams as it should.

Black max is packaged and blended by Phillips 66.
I used it for three years in my echo equipment without a problem.
very little smoke if any no odor and burns nice and clean.

Thanks for the feedback... so... no concerns about the 'sunken-in' bottle as in age/shelf life?

Black max was sold last season so it's fine.
Transfer it to a glass jar if the bottle develops a leak.
