Default Preferred Oil ?

Dear Sir, You must use an oil, preferably a synthetic that can be mixed to the ratio required. It also must be suited for air-cooled 2 cycle engines. A good 2 cycle motorcycle racing synthetic oil is often used.
Thanks,

I'm new to this so please excuse my ignorance. Don't you determine the ratio yourself simply by the amount of oil you add or are there minimum and maximum ratios specified by the oil manufacturer? In other words, can't all oils be used to get a 50-1 ratio ?
