oil and gas mixing.

[cr85re]

ok i have a 03 cr85r expert anyone no what i should(gas and oil) mix with a modified engine?40:1 is what i was told.but what does that mean?like how many gallons and how much oil?i cant do math stuff good?

There are 128 ounces in a gallon. That means that for one gallon of gas, you would add 128 ounces / 40 = 3.2 ounces of oil.

Now you see why lazy people like me mix at 32:1. We add 4 ounces of oil per gallon of gas, which is easy to measure.

Buy a small measuring cup (or even a Ratio Rite, which is a $5 luxury item) and keep it with your gas can.

Or you do like I do and dump a 16 oz bottle into 4 gallons of gas.

One pint of oil and 5 gallons of gas = 40:1
