2 stroke oil mix

Hi,I have inherited two old Husqvarna chainsaws a 45 and 61 they are running very well.What is the fuel oil mix for these saws I read online that it was 50/1 if you use Husqvarna 2 stroke oil but 33/1 or 25/1 if other 2 stroke oils were used is this true?Any advice would be great

Ah, the oil wars

Shameless marketing. They want to promote their own, mixing other oils at those ratios will create problems. Any brand name oil designed for air cooled 2 strokes, not liquid cooled, will do just fine. I mix Stihl Ultra because it is readily available at 50:1 without any issues, I don't own any Stihls.

Here in my shop I use and sell a good multi-mix oil that is design to be mixed at 50:1 [ one package to one gallon] but is used in any thing 50:1 to 16:1. I have been using this mix since 2009 without problems. I also before that used Silver Streak marine oil mixed at the correct ratios but that was a pain as I had many different containers of fuel mix sitting around; now I just got one.

Also this huge oil to fuel ratios was the use of non synthetic fuel oils which now are primary synthetic fuel oils.
