Default RE: NEW DLE 20cc Gasser! (Data & Links 1st Post)

Is everyone running there DLE20 on 32:1? A lot of the new oil's ''claim'' 50:1 is the way to go. Stihl gave me a longer warranty on my new chainsaw if I used their HP Ultra oil 50:1 in the saw!
I am using the HP Ultra in my five DLE's but still at 32:1.

Yes, pretty much everyone running 32:1

These little guys really struggle with their rod bearings compared to the bigger engines. 32:1 give you a little insurance in that regard?
I agree. The 20cc engines consume fuel at about the same rate as a glow .46, except with more heat and less oil. Larger gassers can lead happy lives at 40:1, 50:1 because with greater fuel consumption, there is more oil passing through as well.
