I started using Amsoil in the 1970’s. Then there was one bottle for everything. I’d mix 5 gallons at a time at 100 to 1 and ran it in my dirt bikes and chain saw. I’ve been a fan of synthetic’s ever since. Conventional oil has come a long way, but it was garbage back then. It was the early 2000’s when I learned about the Pennzoil. I switch for 2 reasons. It was biodegradable and about a 3rd of the cost. As most of my motors are bushing motors. 100 to 1 isn’t enough to make a seal. I find that 3 oz. per. gal. is adequate except in the small ½ and 1 hp. motors I have. When I learned the Pennzoil was discontinued I bought all I could get. Menard’s had a couple pallets of it. Every time I went in I got 5 Gallons for $100.00 till it was gone. Ran out in 2023. Been experiment with the Stihl and the Bel Ray biodegradable oils. I’ve decided to go with the Stihl only as it is the easiest to get. Not a recommendation. Only my experience. Use your bet judgment.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
