I'm curious, did you use the same brand piston both times?
Did you change from "A" to "B" size or stick with the same piston size also?

I wish I had the drive to keep notes like this
First one was a Wiseco, second was a Vertex.

Same size piston.

More oil in the mixture leans out the fuel/air ratio.
So, in reality the motor was getting less oil.
I did not rejet since the engine ran fine. I can feel if I am off by one size on the pilot and a couple sizes on the main jet, which it was not.

I would like to see your math.

By my math, I am running 32% more oil per gallon of premix. Correspondingly, there is 0.6% less gas per gallon of premix, which has some small effect on the fuel/air ratio. There would also be some viscosity change, which maybe you have the formula for flow though a jet.

Taking it to the big picture level, I rode the same loops and get consistently the same fuel mileage. By my simple math, I am running about 1/3 more oil through the engine for a given ride.
