Stihl MotoMix pre-mixed fuel Stihl MotoMix is a convenient, high-performance, ethanol-free, 50:1 pre-mixed fuel mixture, created with premium-quality fuel with a minimum 92 octane and the excellent protection of Stihl HP Ultra Oil to ensure reliability and performance. The fuel formulation also results in a longer fuel storage period of up to 2 years, thus the fuel mix will stay fresh longer in equipment. Consumers can expect easier starting, easier storage, and consistent and reliable operation as a result. Delivering excellent engine performance and lubrication, Stihl MotoMix is a natural fit as the official fuel of the Stihl Timbersports Series. Stihl MotoMix is a non-aromatic fuel mixed with a fully synthetic and highly biodegradable 2-cycle engine oil, so it is easier on the environment. It comes in a convenient 39.5-ounce metal container, featuring 32 ounces (1 quart) of MotoMix. Toro's Full Synthetic 4-Cycle Engine Oil Designed specifically for lawn and garden equipment, Toro's Full Synthetic 4-Cycle Engine Oil provides extreme performance in all temperatures, enhancing engine life. Engine oils formulated for automotive applications don't always provide the optimum level of corrosion protection in the harsh environments and long periods of storage common with lawn and garden equipment. Toro Full Synthetic Engine Oil delivers special rust- and corrosion-prohibiting additives, protection against high heat, easier cold starts, plus increased anti-oxidants and detergent additives. Using Toro Full Synthetic 4-Cycle Oil in lawn and garden equipment protects engine components from premature wear caused by metal-to-metal contact that occurs during use. That's because Toro's oil contains higher anti-wear additives generally not found in traditional automotive or other lawn and garden oils. Automotive engine oils are typically designed for lower-revving engines; Toro Synthetic 4-Cycle Oil is designed for high-revving and higher-temperature small engines. Toro's Full Synthetic 4-Cycle Engine Oil can be used in any gas or diesel small engine specifying SAE 30/10W-30, including Toro products with a Kawasaki, Kohler, Honda, Daihatsu or Briggs & Stratton small engine. VP Small Engine Fuel VP Racing Fuels recently introduced ethanol-free "VP Small Engine Fuel," formulated specifically for outdoor power equipment to prevent the ethanol-related problems that currently plague the OPE industry. Available as an unleaded gasoline for 4-cycle engines, VP/SEF also comes pre-mixed with oil (40:1 and 50:1), "ready to pour" for 2-cycle engines. Package options for VP/ SEF includes quart and 1-gallon containers, as well as 5-gallon pails and 54-gallon drums for high-volume users. VP/SEF avoids the aggravation and cost of hard starts, rebuilds and downtime, offering worry-free storage with a shelf life of at least 2 years. It passes warranty requirements of virtually all small-engine manufacturers, and its 2-cycle synthetic oil exceeds API TC, ISO-L- EGD and JASO FD standards. OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT AUGUST 2012 25
