FAQ: Premix Calculations

[Jakobi]

The bottom end bearings will run submerged in oil. They won't run very long dry. In saying that some people run with next to no oil. Some use heaps. Whats more important is using a quality oil and jetting to suit the ratio you use.

FWW most oil manufacturers will specify a ratio.
