The mix ratio is the proportion of gas to oil, expressed as a ratio. For example, 50:1 means 50 parts gas to 1 part oil. [links]
For a 50:1 ratio of gas to oil, use 2.6 fluid ounces of oil per gallon of gas.
To make fuel for the FS55R string trimmer, mix 2.6 U.S. fluid ounces of high-quality, two-cycle, air-cooled engine oil in 1 U.S. gallon of midgrade unleaded gasoline. Shake well before fueling. here
The maximum amount of oil in the 40:1 ratio standard means 3.2 ounces of oil per gallon of gasoline. While 50:1 ratio means 50 parts of gasoline to one amount of a 2-Cycle oil, about 2.6 ounces of oil for one gallon of gasoline. more
TOM: Yes, it’s fine to use it in your car. It’s a relatively small amount of oil (1 part oil to 40 parts gasoline). RAY: It won’t harm the engine, the fuel-injection system or the catalytic converter.
Valvoline 2 Stroke Outboard Oil is suitable for use in Evinrude, Mercury, Mariner, Suzuki, Volvo and Yamaha engines requiring 25:1, 50:1, 100:1, petrol/oil ratio, including those outboards with oil injection.
Most two-cycle engines now use a 50:1 ratio of gas to oil. That’s equal to 2.6 fluid ounces per gallon of gas or 20 milliliters per liter of gas. A liter is equal to 1.06 quarts, so you can use 20 milliliters of oil per quart of gas when mixing smaller quantities of fuel.
Two-stroke outboards require oil that meets the TC-W standard, which indicates a marine oil designed for a two-stroke engine. Again, consult the owner’s manual for specific two-stroke oil requirements.
It’s simply 40 parts of fresh, unleaded fuel with 1 part of semi-synthetic 2 stroke oil. Although that might sound hard to measure, it’s actually an extremely simple process. Mixing should ALWAYS be done externally from the machine, you should NEVER try to mix a 2-stroke fuel in the fuel tank of a machine.
Technically, marine is a lower ash, lower temp 2stroke but the actual temp difference is usually so small and most bike boosters/mopeds don’t really get to a high enough RPM to get the temp range requiring more than marine.
In short, any 2-stroke motor is a suitable place to use synthetic oil specially formulated for 2-stroke engines. Particularly where motors that have seasonal use are concerned, high-quality synthetic 2-stroke oil can be useful as among the additives you’ll often find fuel stabilizer.
Hint: Regular 87 octane gas from the local service station works just fine. As for the best 2-stroke oil it’s a bit more complicated because you can’t just pour some 5w-30 into your fuel jug. [links]
Most owner’s manuals will tell you, but ratios between 32:1 and 40:1 are common. Thus, your mix is 40 parts gasoline to one part oil. If you’re working with the metric system, it’s easy: 10cc of oil to 400cc of fuel. here
My YZ 250 runs at 32:1 which is what’s written in the owners manual. If you don’t have an owners manual, consult your local (Suzuki, Yamaha, KTM etc) dealership and ask them. A lot of riders run their bikes at 40:1. If you aren’t pinning it everywhere you will get away with this. [links]

2.6 ounces
You want to mix 2.6 ounces of oil to one gallon of gasoline for a 50:1 mixture. If you’re mixing up two gallons of gasoline you will have to mix 5.2 ounces of oil to two gallons of gasoline for a 50:1 mixture. [links]
Excess oil can produce a smoky exhaust, oil leaking out of the muffler, and sometimes loss of power. While not ideal, these issues can be fixed by simply replacing the fuel in the tank with properly mixed fuel.
Just looking at the Owners Manual for the 2005 15D still recomends 1:100 after running in. I would have thought that fogging before storage gave adequate lunbrication.
Using 50:1 will not hurt your engine, cause excessive carbon buildup or foul the plugs. more
Using 100:1 will make less smoke and pollution, but don't store the engine for long periods without running 50:1 in it for a few minutes to coat internal parts with a better film of oil.
