    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.
