Ok.......I forgot what to break my engine in at......

I'm using a 3W106......with LawnBoy II ashless........is it 80:1?

I've got a 5 gallon container (already filled with gas). How much oil do I add to it? Thanks in advance.

Hope to Maiden my first built plane, and first bigbird this weekend/////////Wind go away!!!!!!

The aircraft international web site states to use 50-1. I broke mine in at 40-1. Use your own discretion. Mix rates are on the back of the can.

50 to 1 sounds right..........


Then you go to 80 to 1 amsoil ..........


That sound right?

Amsoil makes 100-1 and 50-1 synthetic oils. I'm going to use 50-1 oil mixed at 50-1. Others mix the 100-1 oil at anywhere from 80 to 100-1 I've read. The oil manufacturer is the one that dictates what their oil is good for. You combine that recomendation with what your engine manufacturer recommends and decide for yourself where you want to go. I for one don't believe in pushing the envelope where oil is concerned. If you are good at tuning your engine and know for sure you won't ever run it lean then go for the leaner oil mix of 100-1 but if you're not sure I would say stay with the 50-1 and leave some margin for error. That's just my opinion. Of course, you can still burn up an engine using 50-1. That's a given!
