Oil/ petrol Mix

[Jazzy]

The mix of 4% must by pure logic deliver more oil per engine firing cycle than 2%.

only if Bike 2 was running constantly higher revs, another variable.

Here's another variable for you,

Bike 1. 16 miles per litre at 4%

bike 2. 8 miles per litre at 2%

which is getting the most oil through the engine?

Both engines are having the same amount of oil through the engine because bike 1 is at 4% but does 16miles and bike 2 although at 2% only covers 8miles , am I correct ?

Yes on the information given.

the point I'm making is stating an oil to fuel ratio with out assessing all variables is pointless and un-scientific.
Ride, strip and examine.

achieving 14 miles per litre on my sx150 do i need to reduce the amount of oil im using; still using my trusty brew of used mazola cooking oil blended with paraffin mixed with petrol at 2% is this too much

Regardless of the mileage a 4% mix will put more oil through the engine than a 2% mix, if it is the same amount of fuel/MPG for both bikes.
As the 4% mix is doing double the miles of the 2% then on top of the higher % it is also running for longer, therefore using more oil.

Or did you mean Bike 1 was 2% and 16 miles and bike 2 4% and 8 miles ?

the figures are miles/ltr the point being the difference in fuel economy having an effect on amount of oil going thru the engine.

I'm going to have start reading the posts in full

So if both bikes are doing the same rev's and one is double the MPG but using half the oil %, then both are using the same amount of oil.......

The logic being the less MPG you're getting means you can reduce your oil %......

In theory if I could get another bike to do 4 Miles per litre it could run on 1% ?
