My brother is an Amzoil dealer and he things it's the greatest thing
since malted milk, and I like synthetic 2 cycle oil, but I'm wondering
about the recommended mix ratio. personally I think 100:1 is a bit
thin.


Anyone have any thoughts?

Yep. I think that 100:1 is a bit extreme unless you're gambling with a
$79.00 weed eater. I'm trying to figure out the 'just right' mixture.


50:1
