AMSOIL 100:1 Sabre oil is good. A few of the guys use it at my field with good results. One word of caution with 100:1 AMSOIL Sabre, it needs to be mixed at 100 to 1 NOT 50 to 1 or 80 to 1. If it’s mixed lower that 90 to 1 you will get piston ring sticking and all kind of nasty things will happen including broken rings. It goes against the grain, but in AMSOIL Sabre’s case a little more oil will do more harm than good.
Well, now I gotta ask...

Why does it say "mix at higher ratios if desired" and why is there a 50:1 ratio included in the chart on the bottle? I'm not contradicting you, just wondering why this is?

Thanks if you know!
