Purchase a 5 litre bottle of STIHL MotoMix at the same time as buying this machine, and you'll get an extra year on your domestic use warranty - extending your warranty from two years to three. This is subject to STIHL's warranty terms, and machines used in a commercial application don't benefit from the warranty extension.
