RE: Fuel
Yes but look at the percent of the oil blend. I have been running Power Master for decades in my four strokes, YS and OS with a Saito or two tossed into the mix. 15% nitro and 18% blended oil. I never go below the 18% oil and I have noticed the new Power Master has a lower oil content. When all I could get was Wild Cat 15% it only had 16% blended oil. I tossed in two ounces of Klotz oil blend to make it up. I also use nothing but blended oil, I don't care for straight synthetics but other people swear by it.

RE: Fuel
You need to ignore the marketing terms such as super, extra, premium, four stroke blend, etc; and look at the ingredients that are listed.
Saito recommends a fuel with 20% oil content. The picture is the fuel recommendation from the manual.
You'll notice it recommends two stroke fuel, whatever that is...
Most of the people I know use fuels that contain 17% or 18% oil in all of their two and four strokes, and most do not add oil to raise the percentage. Nothing wrong with adding oil if it makes you feel better.

I agree with GreyBeard, oil content is the key, preferably with castor and not synthetic. I always look for the wildcat 15% nitro 18% castor blend.

Been using synthetic for years. Haven't ruined an engine yet.
