I'm curious if anyone knows. Does Stihl make their own oil or do they buy it from some major oil company and then rebrand it as their own. I'm not dissing Stihl as I use their Ultra at 40:1 in my engines once broken in. Perhaps they buy a base oil from a major supplier and then add whatever ingredients that they think is best.
I think I read somewhere that Stihl oil is produced by Castrol. I do know that just because you read it somewhere (especially on the internet) doesn't make it true.
Stuhl are so amazing that 450 million years ago they owned dinosaurs and a swamp. So great was their vision that they knew that if they fed the dinosaurs well and kept the swamp wet by making sure meteorites only landed on the other side of the globe, the dinosaurs would die fat and healthy and give us the miracle of Stihl HP ULtra oils in the 21st century. Taking continental drift into account they strategically positioned themselves as suppliers to the lumber market, one of the worlds biggest money spinners, and started their own lubricants company. They now own their own ocean floor, drilling rigs, base oil refineries, additives and chemicals companies, steel mills and foundries plus machining plants. I suspect they also have invented time travel but they're just not saying....
I have mentioned many times where Stihl comes from and who the current supplier is but maybe the above story is more easily digested.
