Status: offline 		Hi,

Im buying my first gasser ( 26cc Zenoah ) and was wondering about the oil. Can I use regular 2 cycle oil that I use in my lawn mower and weed eater? I have a gallon of Shell XTC-50 2 Cycle engine oil and wondering if this oil is ok? On the back of the can it gives me the following mix ratios 16/1, 24/1, 32/1, 50/1.
In the engine manual is says to use a mix of 25~40:1. So what mix ratio should I use? 32/1??

Thanks

Status: offline 		I have 3 Zenoah engines, 20 G 20's and one G26. Per the manual they recommend 32:1 ratio for long engine life. The Shell oil looks just fine. Here is a link with specs:
