Not only that, the same Aldi product code, 51773, is also used for the 4-stroke oil....

Interestingly, the support/info website listed on the bottle [www.powertoolsupport.com] and its successor, www.extrabattery.com.au, are both now defunct.
However, a look at archived copies over at The Wayback Machine revealed that they hosted nil info on the oils anyway.

And, those websites were also the spare parts source for the Gardenline OPE machines.

As long as my Victa, Ryobi and Mitsubishi petrol equipment don't blow up, I'll be satisfied.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
