I use the same mix, but at closer to 1 oz/gal. Why? That is what Tracy does. Dont think it is very critical over the short term. I have gone without oil for a tank or two when I didn't plan well. I have also put multi-weight aviation engine oil in (at .5 oz/gal) on one occasion when I forgot to bring along any 2-stroke oil at all.

I use the same mix as Dennis but at the rate of 3/4 oz/gal in non-ethanol auto gas. My engine is a Renesis with 70 flight hours.

For those of you who are actually flying and have some time on your rotaries and are using Pre-mix 2 cycle oil:
1) what oil are you using
3) what ratios are you using
4 where is the best place to get it
