Sweet little motor, that. I run mine at 10:1 using synthetic blend oil. (I keep the blend for my Seagulls.) You will probably hear that you should use air-cooled motor oil; I don’t, but I think it is a good idea. My use of 10:1 conventional outboard oil gives me peace of mind.

Isn’t oil for air cooled motors formulated to deal with higher heats? (couldn’t be lower, could it?)
