With the demise of my local dealer, and having had bad luck mail ordering oil, I would like to find a locally available substitute. The final drive uses very little and costs a fortune so...

    stablizer content.

    The 2T oil I buy is for 50 to one, and has fuel stabilizer in it. So how much is real oil and how much is stabilizer. I refuse to mix OPE at 50 to one, I usually mix one bottle in .9 gallon and when it gets real hot I might go .8 gallon. Yes, I know it is totally unnecessary Rod
