Running this through my Turing Engine- I read that you got a gallon of bar oil and a 6 of 2 stroke mix for $28. Was this a 6 of Stihl brand- and mix for 1 gallon at a time?
I saw Motion Lotion over at Baileys for really cheap.

I use the Stihl 6 packs of 50:1 but I don't pay the big bucks for the bar oil. I get the cheapo stuff from Wal-Mart. For three years i've done that and have not had any bar/chain/lube issues.
I use Amsoil products for everything I own, cars,truck,Harley etc etc. I use 100:1 2 cycle oil for ALL 2 cycle motors and their bar & chain for my saw. Never had a problem with their products.
Now I use WalMart bar oil at 5+ A GAL but am sticking with Stilh 2 stroke 40:1 oil mix. Dealer bar oil has gone through the roof...back in Mar I was pay'en $14 a gal WTF!
Ya, I think we're still selling around $8/gal, but our cost for bar oil is going up very quickly. It's getting pretty silly.
Since I do 90% of my cutting in the winter months, I use the Stihl blue jug Winter Grade. My last gallon was $11. I used 1/2 gallon last winter. Nothing else I've ever used has poured like it, even down to around 10 degrees. I used to use the cheap Poulan brand from Wal-Mart but it is like molasses at those temps. I just can't imaging it is lubing well when it is that thick.
As to the mix, when I bought my Stihl in January, I picked up a 6 pack of the 50:1 1 gallon bottles. I still have 2 of them left. I believe that was $12.50. I'm not taking any chances on inferior oil. I only put 93 octane no ethonal in all of my OPE.

I am a fan of the Poulan oil from Wal-mart, I liked it better last season when it was tinted red so you could see how well it worked. Its about $5.00 / gallon. If I run in the cold of the winter, I just use 30 wt hd. For the 2 stroke mix I use the wal mart or the pint bottle reminents of blendzoil castor left over from filling our racing quad. Love the smell of the castor. YUM
MobilRacing MX2T - $7.99/quart. And I've got enough stashed away to last me a couple years, at least! As for the bar oil...WTF? Sounds like y'all are getting ripped, 'cause I have yet to see it cost anywhere near $22.
I think allot of the pricing has to do with the dealer. We have 2 Sthil dealers in the area. One is quite reasonable and the other is quite expensive. As for the bar oil I can get the Sthil brand locally for just a tad over what Wal-Mart sells poulan bar oil for. At the other Sthil place it was $16 a gallon. Go figure.
