Well just lost me whole post frown

so heres the short version
As you all know I've been using the Victa Valvoline 50:1 oil..at 50:1 mix

[Linked Image]

Since the stated mixture is 25/1 for victa 2 strokes
and there been such a big discussion
on this oil "not to use at 50/1"
still it seems like a decent oil

My question is can you use this at a 25/1 ratio

200ml per 5 litre like the other oils?

is anyone using that mixture?..with this

is there such a think as "Too much oil"
if you do this with this formula?

--
the trimmer seem happy with it a 50:1 so it wont be wasted I suppose

but I'd like to use it at recommend mix of 25:1

but dont want to risk any damage to engine
or faster clogging of ports with crap etc..
from an overly rich mixture..

Anyway just want to know if its safe really...
(I really dont want a seized engine or something catastrophic to happen)

---
next Question

I guess this will be one more of personal preference

What is a recommended "Quality oil" for a victa 2 strokes
(that will be kindest to the engine for maximum life)

Penrite's a name I hear about..?


Thank you all smile


oh, if there is a thread on oils can someone please point me to it smile


----foot note---

there has been a bit of discussion in a couple of thread I found
https://www.outdoorking-forum.com.au/forum/u...ds=mineral+oil&Search=true#Post23308

and here he mentions using it but not sure if he used it much at all I think it was going to be his intention...anyway that bore looks a bit worse them mine
