Hi Rusty, W= hy people think that MMO is solution for everything? 2 cycle oil was designe= d to be used just for our purpose. I know you’ll make faces when I men= tion PL but he cooked few different samples in the oven to see which oil lef= t the least sludge residue when burned, and the 2 cycle oil was the best as = I remember it.
My hangar neighbor puts some MMO in the tanks of his Lyconosorus equipped R= V-4, but he doesn’t know any better. He is an A&P, so I forgive hi= m :) But you? :)

Hi Bulent,  Actually, the 5 oz thing was just= an example of what I do for the 5 gallon jugs I was using to fill the plane= .  There would be no problem continuing to use the measuring cup for ha= nger use, but even that won't be necessary very soon.  
By the end of Thanksgiving weekend, I'll have a 91= gallon tank installed in the truck, complete with 12V fuel pump and meter. =  When  I start using that, I'll have to either add oil to the tran= sfer tank when I fill it at the station, or leave the fuel in the transfer t= ank clean, and add oil as I fill the plane at the hanger.  That's actua= lly why I asked the question about using less than 1 oz/gal of oil.  My= other engine is a 912ULS, which requires premium, and would prefer to not h= ave oil.  I have it from a reliable source that using MMO in the 912 wo= n't hurt a thing, particularly if you keep the concentration as low as possi= ble.  It also won't hurt other engines it seems, so I've been thinking = of going back to MMO, and just mixing it in the transfer tank.  One thi= ng's for sure, it would stay mixed up as I drive.
The problem is how to add oil when filling up at a= nother airport.  Clearly, from the responses, I'm worrying too much abo= ut exact ratios.  I'll probably just buy a few quarts of MMO, then reus= e the bottles by filling them from gallon containers.  They seem to be = pretty heavy duty bottles, and have a nice long neck, so it's probably as go= od as any.  
Thanks,
Rusty (will never fill the plane without thinking about alligators)
