I have what some will consider a silly question. Sitting on my shelf is 80 cans of Lawn-boy generation 2 ashless 2 cycle oil.It is about 9 years old. I have mostly newer string trimmers, blowers etc that I'm running Stihl Ultra in. Can I run the Lawn-Boy oil in them? Or mix it with the Ultra?
Lawn-boy oil verses Stihl oil

I can tell you that if the Stihl is a 4Mix and it were mine, I would stick to a synthetic if I were to try something other than Stihl Ultra. From experience, my 4Mix came to me used and abused w/ generic 2 cycle. It was very dirty. I do not know either way if the lawn boy 2 is dino or synthetic but if you use it, check on it periodically. Carbon buildup around the valves is the problem in some cases using regular dino.
Sam, I'd love to have some of that oil for my 1996 LB mower. Want to sell some?
The Lawnboy is a dino, and not a bad oil but it will be dirty and probably wouldn't use it in your stihl. I plan to only use stihl ultra or maybe amsoil saber in my stihl trimmer.
I have been running the lawnboy oil in my mower, but always have to end up cleaning out carbon/gunk, going to start using the stihl ultra or saber in it as well so I wont have to clean out the gunk from the exhaust again. (and to make it last as long as possible)
