The Pennzoil I have been using is a full synthetic. It is made from
natural gas and I suspect what is in their blend that that you’re
familiar with. I have 2 gallons left. That’s enough for a bit over 80
gallons. That is what is left of the 12 gallons I bought when it was
discontinued but I had been using it for years before that.
Dealers were providing service for engine failures when the heaver
oil mixes were common. The “manufactures” began recommending
50 to 1 when 2 cycle oil first became available over 50 years ago.
I have been using synthetic oils since 1975 in some motors as lean
as 100 to 1 and I have never had a failure. Actually in one case it
extended the time before rebuild. I believe the person who started
this thread is looking to run less oil. I am providing my 48 years of
experience of doing that. He said after watching my video he
thought that was proof. It’s not. I’m just another guy on the internet.
He or anyone can consider it or reject it. The proof will be his own
experience if he decides to do so. When considering how much oil
is necessary you should use your best judgement.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
