Hi Bulent,=A0 Actually, the 5 oz thing was just an example of what I do

That's actually why I asked the question about using less than 1

The problem is how to add oil when filling up at another airport.=A0
Clearly, from the responses, I'm worrying too much about exact
ratios.=A0 I'll probably just buy a few quarts of MMO, then reuse the
