I (and many other much smarter people than I) think that
1:128 is an excellent ratio for high power settings but anything less
than high power settings will scavenge the premixed oil into the sump.

 
Thanks for the info Mike.   Interesting.  I hadn't considered that the lower power setting would cause the worst scavenging.  If that's the case, a car should be much worse than a plane.  Now if we can get someone with a mechanical omp to tie it fully open, and use one of Richard's adapters, we can find out if the oil injection keeps the sump from filling with top oil.
