Bror, if the Quicksilver is TCW3, I'll send you a few bucks for it. -Joequote:

Stihl 1+ quarts (orange bottle)
John Deere - 12+ 8oz cans.
Poulan 12+ 8 oz. cans
Quicksilver 6+ 12oz cans
Kawasaki - 2/3 of one gallon.
The only machinery we have right now that calls for this stuff is a weed whapper and a chainsaw. They only go through about 1 gallon of fuel per year.

I should have figured it was old, since I haven't seen Quicksilver in cans in years. -Joequote:

Sorry Joe, but it's at least 12 years old.
If anyone here was local, I'd give most of the stuff away.
I have searched all over the net and have yet to find anyone who has had a problem with the quality of Amsoil. I have found lots of people who badmouth it and then go on to say how they have never used it or would never use it.quote:

This makes them pooor canidates for use in a motor that sits for any length of time as esters attract water. I also find it comical that people even want to run 100:1 ratios as what is the advantage. There are high quality oils that burn clean and have no smoke at 32:1 ratios.
