When a glow engine is converted to gasoline, you really should use the same amount of oil as was in the glow fuel unless the rods and crank are converted to roller bearings. Some are using good synthetic oils at lower ratios, but it is risky. One lean run could ruin the engine.

Gasoline engines also run hotter than glow engines, so beware of that.
