Yes, for all Husqvarna chain saws the fuel to 2 cycle oil ratio is 50:1.

If you'd like, I've provided a link to the Husqvarna website where you can get a free download of the user manual and guide for your chainsaw, which is very helpful offering tips for using and maintaining your chainsaw, etc.

http://www.husqvarna.com/us/forest/support/download-manuals/?query=455&types=O

Just select your particular model/year and click on the link to download and save a free copy. I find keeping a file folder on my computer is a great way to store all the manuals and guides for my personal tools, appliances, and lawn equipment, etc., so I'll always have them available for future use and reference.

Hope you find this information Very Helpful and best regards

SOURCE: I want to know does

Husqvarna usually suggests what oil to use for their products and the mix to use for that oil. If you go to the Husqvarna web site all the info you need for mixing ratios and brands is found there. I think you can be safe and buy any type of 2 stroke cycle oil and go with the mixing instructions they suggest. I feel safe using different brands and following their directions for the mixture. Some oils are more concentrated than others and that is why the ratios are different. The next time you buy oil look at the different brands, the concentrations are usually indicated on the front of the container. I don't think anybody can give you the mixture ratios as being the same for all oils. Next time you buy oil check the different brands and the different concentrations of their oil. If you use 50:1 that means the oil is more concentrated than a 25:1 mixture. This is just a suggestion I am giving you, go with what you feel comfortable with. To get a different point of view, ask the people where you buy your oil for help, most are pretty knowledgeable about this. They are probably asked all the time and research this topic. I hope this helps you out. Best regards and good luck. Any questions are welcome.

What is the gas / oil ratio mixture for husqvarna 455 rancher model ?

50:1 that's 2.6 ounces of 2-stroke oil (preferably with fuel stabilizer) to one gallon of gas. I recommend using 89 octane gasoline for all small engines. It has little or no ethanol in it, as opposed to the 10% typical in 87 or 86 octane fuel. This will prevent a lot of fuel issues, especially if you are not using the tool daily or at least weekly.

I want to know does the husqvarna 455 rancher chainsaw use 50:1 or 25: 1 fuel mix

What we always say is if you are useing Husqvarna two stoke oil it is mixed at 50-1 if you are useing anybody elses oil it should be mixed at 25-1 as we do not know the quaility of other peoples oil, avoid oils from super markets and mass traders, always try to use Husqvarna two stroke if possible, its not the cheapest oil out there but remember this a new cylinder and piston for this saw retails for £217 + tax, so cheap oil can work out very expensive

Fuel ratio 50:1 = 1gal premium/2.6oz quality 2-cycle engine oil
Fuel/Oil Mixture
  1. Use a quality 2 cycle oil and mix it to the OIL supplier's recommended ratio. Today I use Stihl 2 cycle oil mixed @ 50:1 in a Pioneer that I purchased new in 1980. There are no gouges or scratches on the piston or cylinder and I have no carbon build up on the piston top. The manual (on stone tablets) recommends 24:1. Over the years the mixture has leaned from 24:1 (Saw Recommendation) to 28:1 (Lawn boy mower recommendation) to 32:1 (Oil provider 2gal premium/8oz chainsaw 2-cycle engine oil - used for many years) and finally the last 5 (±) years 50:1 (1gal premium/2.6oz Stihl 2-cycle engine oil)
  2. Any fuel containing ethanol is not good with chainsaws. Mix what you expect to use within a few weeks. Anything over 1.5 months old use up in a 4 cycle engine. HTH
