Use the Omega 15%, Cool Power 15%, Power Master 15%, etc. You want at least 17% lube, 18% to 20% is better. The 15% nitro has run very well in all of my four strokes. Saito 45 through Mag 91. I've got an O.S. 1.20 on the shelf and it will get the same.

My 4stroke was a bear to start. People then shared the advice that 4strokes need nitro to start. I was told that 15% was the minimum that could be relied on.
One of the guy's 4strokes shut off on low motor a lot one day. The 4stroke experts told him that 4strokes won't stay warm enough without enough nitro and without a special 4stroke glowplug.

yes you need a special 4-stroke plug 
Since the engine fires every other stroke, the glow plug is more prone to cool down than in a 2-stroke engine.
nitro helps in this regard as well, but it is not obligatory. My engines are fine with just 10% nitro.
