How much oil do I mix with 5 gallons of gas?
For 5 gallons of gas, with a 50:1 ratio, the amount of oil required is 12.8 US ounces (100 ml). Experts agree that it is better to err toward the side of too much oil, rather than not enough. Typical break in period ratios are about twice the normal; 50:1 is generally 25:1 during break in.
