    Any 2-stroke oil, whether it be for outboards or lawn mowers, should probably work(unless somebody here disagrees).  I just found a 1 gallon jug of it because it’s a lot cheaper to buy in larger quantities.  get one of those mixing containers like in the picture.  It doesn’t really mater the shape of the container as long as it measures by ounces, and having a table of oil mixes can be very helpful 16 ounces to a pint can get confusing). I recommend getting one of those gas cans with the big yellow push button because I’ve found them to be very easy to use.  Those are around 2.5 gallons, so putting 2 gallons of gas and then a pint of oil should easily fit.  2 gallons will probably go by surprisingly fast so I wouldn’t bother getting anything smaller regardless of gas can brand.  Fill it up with as close as you can get to 2 gallons of gas or whatever fits in your can, but leave enough space for a bit of oil.  I always get premium, but regular gas can probably do because gas in the 50s was not as great as modern gas. then pour the oil in the can and shake it well.
