I know asking what oil ratio people use is going to get a multitude of answers but does anyone know what therecommended ratio is for the GT186?
The manual says 4% for the 1st 100 miles so is it safe to assume that it would be 3% thereafter?
Got a few thousand miles on mine running at 4% semi synth with no issues apart from it's a bit smoky and costs me more money. I run my muggy 186 on 3% no bother.

Run mine at 3% semi-synth (Groundsman), over 7k miles so far so must be ok :)
