Oh No! 😮 You asked the oil mix question.
Thats the one question that gets the most responses of any.
I believe that oil is cheaper than replacing bearings so I run my
’57 Johnson 18hp at the recommended 24to1 with full synthetic Penzoil.
Sometimes it might be 16to1 if I’ve been using my CD12. I only have
one tank right now.
