    The oils purpose is to keep the moving parts from touching.
    It doesn’t know what year they were made. That film of oil
    between the rings and the cylinder or the crankshaft and
    bearings cant be increased by adding any more oil.
    Once you have enough there is no benefit to adding more.
    I always want to make sure there is enough so I mix 3 oz.
    per gallon.That’s about 42 to 1. Still your not going enjoy
    running a motor a if you think you could be harming it
    so run enough so you feel comfortable.

    A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
