RE: OIL?
Is that gas planes or boats? That ratio in a boat is far too lean for a marine engine, and boats need an oil that can tolerate wet conditions, such as Castrol A747. That oil has no mention of wet conditions.

For many years I have been using Amsoil Dominator at 40:1 in all of my gassers. Amsoil produces a lot of black mess out of the exhaust and carbon in the combustion chamber. About 6 months ago I started using Quicksilver at 40:1. The black mess is virtually gone and the engines run fine on it.
