I was in a logging company yesterday which runs 20+ saws. In the corner they had cases of Supertech 2 cycle oil and gallons of Supertech bar and chain oil.

If you want to buy good oil cheap for your Business the best way is to buy it by the gallon or bulk.

Just so you know buying by the 2.6oz bottle of Echo oil (Using HD price) your paying $2.97 per bottle or the equivalent of $145.53 a gallon. You can buy a gallon of the Echo Power blend for like $40 a gallon. The Stihl I just picked up was $52 a gallon, and both will make 50 gallons of mix. I do the same thing with oil filters that cost $11.95 each, if I buy by the case I can get the same filter for like $6.00 each.
When your running a business buying smart when you can, getting discounts from a dealer all can effect you bottom line.
Thank you I am going to pick up a thing of stihl and you are right running one buying cheap but good is a great way to make a successful season

Well I don't know about you but @ $12 a gallon, it just tells me just how good the stuff is, personally It can stay in Wally World.

The reason I like walking into my dealer is because I get sooooo distracted by all the equipment! Exmark....Scag......Cub Cadet.....Snapper.....Walker......Echo. :rolleyes:
