"thenewguy" Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 is 40:1 the right mixture? i got all stock except for fattys ans powercore 2s. isnt it better to go a little more than a little less so you dont blow a piston or somethin like that?

sredish Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 there isn't a right mixture. it all boils down to the recommendation range of the oil manufacturer and your preference. I run a 40:1 mixture, some run a 32:1 and some even a 60:1. BUT, you wouldn't want to run a 60:1 mixture with an oil designed for a 32:1 mixture. So make sure to read the oil bottle to make sure your mixture meets the manufacterer recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ALWAYS use 93 or 92 octane, I would NEVER use anything less. The cost is way to minimal to be skimping on the octane of the fuel. No, the use of 93 octane will not affect the heat of your engine.
