Skip,
I think we both speak English. I recommended up front to follow the
manufacturer's recommendation, they built the motor. However, lube oil
mixed with gasoline will lower the auto ignition point of the fuel and it
is a contributing risk factor for detonation. You obviously don't believe
me, so I invited you to do the research yourself.....you didn't. Instead,
you quoted a user manual and you are still talking trash from a point of
no knowledge. What is wrong with this picture?

Hi, Steve,

I'm not talking trash - I'm citing owner's manuals. If what the
manufacturer puts out as a requirement for warranty on the engine comes
across as trash, I'm sorry, but I can't be held responsible :{))

In any event, I don't do high performance, so doubling isn't needed from
that perspective. OTOH, in my 100-1 engine, avoiding starvation is of
greater concern, and a many-decades old service company has suggested that
I'm better safe than sorry - so I use the same mix in both units.

And, 18 years later, the 15 is still going strong, though nothing I know of
its history, nor my personal use in the last three years, suggests doubling
the oil other than on breakin...

you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
