The maximum amount of oil that meets this standard is 40:1, or 3.2 ounces of oil per gallon of gasoline. 50:1, or 50 parts gasoline to 1 part 2-cycle oil is 2.6 ounces of oil per gallon of gasoline. Superior oil is synthetic, or blended synthetic oil. There is very little difference in 50:1 and 40:1 fuel mix.
Thereof, how much oil do I need for a 40 to 1 ratio?
Refer to the chart below to make sure you're using the correct 2-cycle fuel and oil mixture:
Mixing Ratio (Gas:Oil) | Volume of Gasoline | Volume of 2-Cycle Oil |
---|---|---|
32:1 | 1 US gal. (128 oz) | 4 oz. |
40:1 | 1 US gal. (128 oz) | 3.2 oz. |
50:1 | 1 US gal. (128 oz) | 2.6 oz. |
32:1 | 1 liter | 31.25 ml |
Likewise, people ask, how much oil do I need to mix 50 1?
You want to mix 2.6 ounces of oil to one gallon of gasoline for a 50:1 mixture. If you're mixing up two gallons of gasoline you will have to mix 5.2 ounces of oil to two gallons of gasoline for a 50:1 mixture.
50:1 means for every 50 ounces of gasoline you need to mix in 1 ounce of oil. If you are using a 1 gallon gas can you would take 128 ounces (1 gal) divided by 50 = 2.56.
