2-Cycle Oil-Mixing Tool

[SwedishRider]

I'm looking for a tool to mix 2-cycle oil at different ratios easily. Anyone have either (or both) of these and can give some feedback on which is better? Or a suggestion of a different, better tool maybe.. Thanks!

Buy a QT of 40:1 premix and 50:1 premix and use that.

Or the containers where you can squeeze say 1 oz into the spout and dump the spout into the gas.

One of my priorities is to keep things that measure or direct the flow of oil (funnel) pristine. I did an oil change on my Jeep, after the oil change the funnel went into dishwasher, then into a zip lock bag.

Years ago when they had metal oil cans, they had a metal spout with a built-in punch can opener. You jammed this spout onto the top of the oil can then poured through the spout. When done, they would hang it on the rim of a garbage can waiting for the next time it was needed. I wonder how dirty or wet those spouts got.

I just use a glass measuring cup. I think it was $1.25 at Walmart. If that's too high you could go with the plastic one for under $1.

back when i was putting TC-W3 to the gas, i looked at both of those, but ended up finding (on clearance for about $2), a "Flavor Injector" in the grilling section. basically an oversized syringe, marked out in ounces.

if i had stuck with it, the ideal unit i came up with would have been an empty Sta-Bil Bottle. but i didn't want to buy one, and just dump the sta-bil, and i gave up on doping the gas after much longer anyway.

I have used a ratio right since you could buy an 8 track at zodys.

I use an empty MMO bottle and fill it 16 ounces of tc-w3 and 16 ounces of Chevron Techron fuel system cleaner. Shake and blend well....then while at the pump.....empty the amount needed into a empty Gumout Regane bottle with the measurement in ounce on the side.

For me, at a 15 gallon fill up.....I empty a six ounce bottle into the gas tank before filling. Then I have a 50/50 mix of the blend for each tank of gas.

Ratio Rite is the easiest.

The Ratio Rite looks like a great tool for this purpose. I read that it only goes up to 70:1 though... Amsoil's Saber Pro can be mixed at 80:1 or 100:1. Do they make one with those ratios available? I didn't see it when I searched for it..

I just use the lines on the side of the quarts. I have also used an old stabil bottle.

Do you have kids? Then like me, you probably have 50 leftover syringes from all the medicine they need every time they get sick. I use the larger 10mL one to mix up 40:1 in a 1 gallon can for the edger and weed whacker.
