Default stihl 017 on glow conversion

this is a bearing supported crank and with glow fuel it takes 50% more fuel to do the job so to get the 100 to 1 mix I actualy should mix at 150 to 1 because the carb is flowing 50% more fuel.the quantity of oil should not change with methanol,with the methanol the engine will run more cooler and with the nitro even cooler yet.my hp2 oil says it mixes with methanol, I need to check amsoil,I may end up using the hp2 because it has a single ring.but then again I may be wrong, what do they recomend in a g23 glow.I think I should get the oil figured out before I fire it up tomorrow so let me know asap.any help is great.
