Hi All,
Please see accompanying picture. I am curious what you think the cause is and how to remedy the excessive oil spatter.
The oil is mixed at 50:1 and is a fully synthetic type. The engine has about twelve hours total operation time.

Your answer is in the video here:

Yours reminds me of the Old Sears 2s oil that they used to add graphite to for chainsaws !
Use caution when cleaning up a well carboned engine though. A visual physical inspection for stuck rings and carboned up pistons with a lot of build up can loose flakes of carbon and score a piston/cylinder in a heart beat.
Maybe a look see by DA would be in order, Your choice though.
I don't sell oil but do use Spectro, Golden Spectro and Redline and have for thirty some years.
BTW: I mix at a 32 to 1 ratio or 40 to 1 (as required) oil not only lubes but helps cool as it passes through the engine.
Again, It's your choice.
Best of Luck !
