Yeah I saw it, also. I don't know much about it, though. Here it is on the Echo website for anyone that hasn't seen it: Red Armor Engine Oil | RedArmorOil.com | My Site.

So will Echo stand behind this oil anymore or not?? (Picture below):

Wonder if the new stuff is synthetic or semi synthetic?

Call Spectrum up and ask them. They make it. More than likely the same formula that is now or will be soon sold under all the other OPE makers.

I know Shindaiwa also has it: Red Armor Engine Oil | RedArmorOil.com | My Site.

A bottle of ECHO Power Blend as in your photo was included in the box with my ECHO PB-250LN, but I never used it because I'm using TruFuel premix in all my 2-stroke tools. I'm going to give it to this lawn care guy that mixes his own gas/oil.

I just order a six pack of the Shindiawa red armour Oil,

I'm going to split it with my FatherNlaw and BrotherNlaw as part of there Christmas presents,

as in we all get two packs,

Ill let you know what we all think of it. In a month or two!

From the advertisements it sounds like some pretty good stuff!

I will note that the oil I received simple states that its shindiawa red armour oil.

Any word if this is the same formula with the echo logo?

I picked up the owner's manual for my PE-225 edger today, and with it came the PowerBlend oil, so I guess they still stand behind it since they didn't give us the new stuff. They are probably trying to use up all the PowerBlend before they go into the Red Armor.
