Although I bought this item for filling a Honda EU2000i generator, according to Wikipedia, the B&S; 12.5 takes about 40 ounces of oil. DPM, Albuquerque

I checked on google and found 2 sources that say a B&S; 12.5 hp engine needs 40 oz of oil so 1 and 1/4 quarts.

Cooking oil capacity is 6 liters for each tank. 12 liters total for both tanks together.

Mix two stroke oil 50 to one. 2.6 ounces of oil to one gallon of gas. Go to Home Depot. In their lawnmower section. They have little plastic containers of oil. They are gray with an orange top. Add this to a one gallon can of gasoline. Make sure to use gasoline without alcohol!!!! No E85!!!!!!

oil strengths are different. start with 1 in a full tank and work your way up to what you feel is appropriate. We use 2-3 drops only. I like it lighter and wife likes it a bit stronger. hope this helps

I measured the first time and it was 21 ounces. I think it was still too much. The measuring stick is lousy for both, but there is the oil cutoff for low level.

I use 3 to 4 oz per tank, 16 galons. The car, jaguar xj8, runs very smooth and performance is great.

hey dave, i added one 32 oz bottle on my last oil change, i will be adding another on my next oil change. this is what is recommended if the first does not completely stop the leaks. my first treatment has helped alot, reducing the leaks to just a small amount. i am hopeful the 2nd treatment will stop it completely. to your question, use one qt of lucas to 4 qts of oil. hope this is helpful and hope it works for you.

If you wanted to raise the oil % you could. OS recommends 18% oil, so if you add 6 oz of castor to the gal, you would get 18% oil/19.1% nitro/62.9%mthnl.

not much. every time you use it you have to put in new oil. about cup full. bit tricky to see oil level when you put in new oil but it's pretty good.

Yes, there is a scale of "Ounces" on the right side of the printed table... If you look across the top of the printed area, starting at the left, you will see "100-1 50-1 40-1 24-1 Ounces" For my outboard motor, I use 50-1 scale... all you really need to know is how much oil to add to a specific amount of gas.. gallons or litres. Measuring bottles like this are getting harder to find because all outboards are being made 4 stroke. So get it while you can...

I bought 4 Qts, but it didn't take all of it. Do not overfill! What I do is empty into oil tray then pour the old oil into a gallon milk container to see how much came out. I thinks it was about 3 Qts.

Hi Doug, I usually add 4 oz to my oil at every change...I went on Amazon and bought some 4 oz plastic bottles and fill a few and keep them in my cars and pickups...I add about half a bottle (2 oz) to each gas fillup. Davv

Yes, you definitely need the oil mix. You can get it pretty much anywhere. And I am sure its fine to use any grade gasoline, but 87 is what I use.

Love this item, makes changing oil very easy. However there isn't a guage to tell how much has been removed. I suppose you could add known quantities and mark the container accordingly.

The owners manual should have a page that includes information regarding what weight of oil you need to put in since it depends on your climate. From what I remember 10W30 and or 10W40 work for most places around the world. However, it would be a good idea to snoop around the manual and website for the information. I bought mine awhile ago, broke it in, and have let it set after the break in oil change. I've enjoyed the little bugger so far.

I'd check your owners manual but generally GM specifies 10-30 weight oil. Depending on your mileage the move to synthetic can improve gas mileage slightly and assist the engine in running a bit cooler as less friction. If your engine has any leaks it may exacerbate them. Once you switch to synthetic you should stick with it.
