Echo 6450001 Power Blend 50:1 Oil Mix - 1 Gallon (6 Pack) Review

I bought pre-mixed Echo petrol/oil for my trimmer but then added a blower and then hedge trimmers etc. Everything got pretty pricey at $8 a piece vart. This Echo Oil is perfect for mixing 1 gallon of fuel, about the amount I need for a month of gardening. No problem.

I have used Echo blended oil for fuel in the past and recently tried another brand of oil that came with my Husqvarna chainsaw and ended up having to 2 overhaul carburetor after use! So now I only use Echo blended oil as fuel in all my 2-strokes.

I put the bottles in a cupboard in the shed. I'll need to use one of these pretty soon when my mix is done. Use on echo trimmers and blowers. Mix a bottle with a gallon. The blower is used in the winter as leaves fall on my driveway and side drains. The leaves can become slippery and stop the flow of rainwater on the street.

In my opinion this oil is bullshit. Most 2-stroke engine oils are blue and this one is black. I mixed in that exact direction (hard to mix up) and now 2 out of 3 of my blowers weren't working. The third barely runs. Throw that crap out and use a different brand and all went well once the junk mix got into the carburetor. I will not buy it again nor will I recommend it to anyone.

I have an Echo blower and a weed eater that I have used this oil with. No problems at all and a really good deal. I usually just run to Home Depot and get a batch of oil, but it was cheaper (per bottle) for me to get these 6 packs. I wish I was the same price per bottle maybe a 3 or 4 pack instead of 6. Either way I should be in the mood for a long time thanks Revane!
