For years I ran a 1990 Merc 25 horse. I ran 100/1 Merc in it for a long time. Never a problem. Then I get a 1997 Merc 25 horse. I ran the cheap stuff @ 50/1, but smelled a lot. I went to Amsoil , @ 128/1 for a long time. I figured I should just run 100/1 and did for 5 yrs? Then I got a much of Merc TCW3 and ran that for about 8 yrs now at 64/1 and will stick to that cause it does not smell much . In 25 yrs. of running this Merc, I dont think it matters much and likely 100/1 is fine but they want you to feel "safe",, or "more oil is cheap insurance". For 30 yrs now I had my Stihl 034. Still has lots of compression. I ran stiihl oil 50/1, then for 10 yrs. I ran Amsoil 100/1 . However now I just run 2 oz. per gal. for a mix of 64/1. Again, I bet I could run it for a long time at 128/1 and never have a problem I have never had an engine go bad on my . My trucks and cars get changed every 10,000 mi. and have gone as long as 46,000 with 3 filter changes in my truck , still have the truck and 293,000 and runs perfect.

Or the used oil from the McDonalds fryers. Nothing like smelling french fries while weed whacking to get a man's appetite up for dinner.

Evinrude XD100 in everything. Boats, lawn equipment, etc. At recommended gas:oil ratio. It is clear, unlike most 2 stroke oil which is dyed so you know it’s mixed. Not a problem, as I always date my 2 stroke cans with duct tape and a sharpie.
Don’t currently have an outboard but run premix VP Racing Fuel for my saws, trimmer and blower. 50:1 in the gallon can 93 octane. My Stihl saw hates old gas but runs great on the VP stuff.

Plain ole castor bean oil was the top of the line untill the mid 70,s. I still add it to my gas in my old bikes just for that racetrack smell even then its a superb lubricant. I buy it by the gallon for soapmaking some goes into my muzzeloader patch lube as well, bean oil is super sticky and stays stuck on operating mechanism's and other fine assembly's. In WW1 it was used in rotary engine aircraft and it was not uncommon for pilots to return from flights after discovering that farts can have lumps in them.
I saved up money for 4 1/2 years to get me a new husky 435 saws the saw of my dreams. 2 cycle oil ? I wanted to go cheap cause I spent all my money on the saw, called down there to ask what I could use that was cheap, woman with a beautiful voice answered, she was so nice, she told me to buy the pricey husky oil. So I'm going to do as she said, best in the long-run husky oil, if I could have met her back when I was young I know me and her could have had a good life together. I've called her a few times with oil questions, she sounds so sweet, I think me and her were meant for each other. When I get my check Im going to get my nephew to carry me down there and get me a pint of husky 2-cycle oil and try and meet her. Who knows what the future holds for me and her.
Wish ya well Mike and hope it works out for ya...
If I had those thoughts tho, my luck, she would be 400+ pounds, ugly as a warthog, three teeth left... and smells like Big Schtick...B.O. and Dead Fish smell....
best of luck my friend...
