I recently acquired an ECHO SRM-225. The guy who gave it to me also handed me a bottle of powercare 40:1 mix. Looking online my trimmer takes 50:1. Not like the extra oil would hurt but whatever.
The manual states "A two-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FD Standards
must be used. Echo brand premium Power Blend X™ Universal 2-Stroke Oil meets these standards. Engine
problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and
J.A.S.O. FD certified oil, such as Echo premium Power Blend X™, will void the two-stroke engine warranty."
I have a bottle of semi synthetic lucas 2 stroke oil" that states "Meets ISO GD and JASO FC & FD" Exceeds API TC. I use it for my 2 stroke Toro CCR2450 snowblower.
Is ISO-L-EGD the same as ISO GD?
Will I damage my trimmer by using this oil?
If someone can please "dumb it down" for me that would be great.
I see so much contradicting information online about 2 cycle oil that it's making my head spin!
I also read online if you use a fully synthetic oil it's good for all mixing ratios up to 50:1? True?
How crucial is meeting oil standards?
I apologize for the long post, just trying to have a better understanding on this complicated subject.
