What kind of oil?
I have a 1982 Evinrude 150hp...I am going to start running it but I have to mix oil and gas and i know it is 50 to 1 ratio.
2 questions: SO the ratio means if I put 50 gallons of gas I need 1 gallon of oil...Just an example and WHat kind of oil do I need and what is thae best way to mix it? Thanks

When I had to mix oil and gas I kept it simple, 2 cups for every 6 gallons of gas. I would put 4 cups in the tank and stop and get 12 gallons of gas. I used Mercury premium plus.

I have a Yamaha self mixing and I've been using Penzoil Marine 2cycle synthetic.
Your local automotive stores should have it in stock; about 4 bucks a quart... ~Mark |

Measures the correct mixture for all 2-cycle engines. See-thru bottle has markings for most mixing ratios, in liters and gallons. 32-oz. capacity. I got it at basspro I use quicksilver oil and buy it at walmart I use one of these I know how much my tank will hold at 1/4 to 3/4 as I wrote it on the inside of the hatch so I know how much gas I need. I just measure the oil and pour it in the tank and then pump in the gas to mix Last edited by kg5388; 05-11-09 at 09:42 PM. |
