STIHL MotoMix
STIHL recommends using STIHL MotoMix. This
pre-blended fuel is free of benzene and lead, is
distinguished by a high octane rating, and
always provides the proper mixing ratio.
STIHL MotoMix uses STIHL HP Ultra two-stroke
engine oil for optimum engine life.
MotoMix is not available in all markets.

Mixing fuel
NOTICE
Unsuitable fuels or a mixing ratio that deviates
from the specification can lead to severe engine
damage. The engine, seals, fuel lines and fuel
tank may be damaged if low-quality gasoline or
engine oil is used.
8.2.1
Gasoline
Use only high-quality gasoline with an octane rat‐
ing of at least 90 ROC – leaded or unleaded.
Gasoline with an alcohol component exceeding
10% can cause impaired engine performance in
engines with manually adjustable carburetors
and thus should not be used in these engines.
Engines with M-Tronic deliver full engine per‐
formance using gasoline with an alcohol compo‐
nent of up to 27% (E27).
8.2.2
Engine oil
If you mix the fuel yourself, use only STIHL two-
stroke engine oil or another high-performance
engine oil classified as JASO FB, JASO FC,
JASO FD, ISO-L-EGB, ISO-L-EGC or ISO-L-
EGD.
STIHL specifies STIHL HP Ultra two-stroke
engine oil or an equivalent high-performance
engine oil in order to maintain emission limits
over the machine's service life.
8.2.3
Mixing ratio
with STIHL two-stroke engine oil 1:50; 1:50 =
1 part oil + 50 parts gasoline
