Default Choosing the right fuel

I can't seem to find the right fuel for my engine - OS FL-70 4 stroke.

OS recomends using a 20% oil and 5%-15% nitro fuel for this engine (written in the manual).

The only fuel that I could find here (in Israel) that has 20% oil also has 20% nitro.

My options are either to use this fuel which has to much nitro, or use fuel which has less oil in it(14% or 16%).

Which option is preffered?

The 20/20 will work just fine. I would recommend it over the option.

more nitro shouldn't hurt. it should make the engine run a bit cooler. And it has the amout of Oil needed for the motor

I've always ran 20/20 in my 4-strokes.
