[QUOTE="Adirondack, post: 1786927, member: 30719"] I am no expert but like you I had trouble with the 100:1 concept. I called Amsoil about it. My impression was that their oil had been tested and ran the best at that ratio. They said they had used it in Lawn boys at 300:1 and had no issues. They did not say this but my theory. Most oil in other Mfrs. mixes does burn a bit and adds to the combustion energy. I notice in their pro mo material their oil does not burn off at working temp. Well if it does not burn it would not smoke and more oil would be left to lubricate the engine. I wonder if this is correct? We are use to the 50:1 because more is being burned and less is left for lubrication. I use one packet to one gallon which is 75 or 85:1. No problems. [/QUOTE]
