Dolmar says their saw should use their own 2 stoke oil at 50:1 but other bands at 40:1. I use Stihl oil for
my Stihl which is 50:1 Do I need to have 2 gas can. I have put 2 tank fulls of gas though the Dolmar before seeing the differant mix ratios. It ran good. Two differant mixes would be a PIA
 
Nope, there's no need for two cans of mix! Stihl oil is good oil, and that's all that Dolmar is really concerned with since "other brands of oil" that a guy might use could be anything. You'll be A-OK running Stihl oil at 50:1 in your Dolmar.
 
Good thats what thought. Thanks for they reply.

Computeruser is Correct.
 
he is right unless it is under warranty. Maybe its an old saw, then the stihl oil is fine.
