I've got a mix of saws and trimmers from 16 to 32 to 40 to 50:1. Only use a gallon jug for the mix. Buy the little oil jugs pre measured for 50:1 in a gallon of gas. Sometimes I'll compromise and add it to about .8 of a gallon to get around a 40:1 mix. Both run on 50:1 and that is what the saw repairman have them adjusted to. My 3 year old Crapsman 46cc saw ended up with a scored piston and cylinder which made it trash. I can't rule out that the 50:1 mix may have been part of the problem. The saw repairman recommends the 50:1 and I am inclined to make sure he makes a living. He needs all the grocery money I can give him.

Last night I got my Pullin 295 and homelite xl back out of the shop since they wouldn't start. I went to the airport and bought a gallon of avgas/100LL and put some johnsered oil in for a 50:1 mix. They took me and my gas can in a golf cart out on the tarmac to the bulk truck. He nozzled in with a big nozzle a gallon without spilling or splashing a drop. Probably should have only got .8 or .9 of a gallon. Picked up a round quart can of Mobil Jet Oil II synthetic turbine oil for just over $11 a quart. I can fill up my squirt oilers with good oil and put the rest in a quart bottle.
