been using the syntech stuff from wallmart, 32-1 even at that ratio engines i've torn down show no wear and have quite a bit of oil left in the case's.

I've used Bel Ray MC1 full synthetic then about a year ago to save money I switched to Lucas semi- synthetic.

I started at 20:1 for break-in and used full synthetic even though some say not too.

After break in I have been running 32:1

use amsoil dominator if you can get it...i find a decent alternative is Golden Spectro...its a synthetic from my local motorcycle shop.

Cheap walmart stuff "super tech" 26:1, may drop it to 28:1

I use that in the bikes I ride myself and recommend it to the others I've built bikes for (50:1). One of mine just hit 14,000 miles and only now starting to lose compression. Also for the Rotax 2-strokes in my ultralight aircraft. Causes some of the other pilots who spend big bucks on synthetic and "special" blends to have fits.
