Day 1 - Is A Stihl 4-Mix Engine A 2-Stroke Or A 4-Stroke?
I go on a bit of a rant to clarify whether a Stihl 4-mix engine is a 2-stroke or a 4-stroke. There is a lot of confusion over these Stihl 4-mix engines. People actually think they are 2-stroke engines as they take 2-stroke gas because there is no engine oil in the sump. I break it down for you and explain how the Stihl 4-mix engine works.
And straight from the Stihl website ➜ The 4-Mix Engine: The award-winning STIHL four-stroke engine that runs on a petrol-oil mix. The STIHL 4-MIX engine thus combines the advantages of a 2-stroke and a 4-stroke. As well has having plenty of lugging power and perceptibly higher torque, the 4-MIX engine is also convincing in terms of lower emissions, low maintenance and a pleasant sound.
