I'm one of those guys you see with 3 or 4 trimmers and a couple of blowers
on my trailer. I've been mowing professionally for about 8 years.
I use Stihl  trimmers/ blowers every day. I have used nothing but
Ace hardware 2 cycle oil (2.5 ounce bottle, for anything from 16 to 1
to 50 to 1 mix). Yes I only carry one jug of mixed gas for all mix ratios.
I have never had any piece of eqiupment breakdown due to lack
of lubrication or fouling of plugs.

I think the key may be that I never ever use any other oil.
Also, I put at  minimum of an hour a day of use on these machines.

In my book the cheapest Stihl is much better than the best Lowes/Home Depot 
model.

Red Max and Shindawa are very good and can cost anywhere for 219.00 to 
700.00 bucks.

I 've got to get a little rest tonight, gotta try to cut at least 15 yards 
tomorrow.

Stihl is not perfect, I'm always breaking a throttle cable or on/off switch, 
or wearing out
the string head.
