Amsoil is an incredibly clean running oil, but that’s totally dependant on load, tune and engine rpm.
I run at 40:1
An interesting observation, I have a friend who uses it in his RC boats and he mixes it at 16:1. I watched a video on his channel where he tears down an engine and the piston crown doesn’t have any carbon on it at all. This said, his boat engines are turning at 18,000 rpm and he runs a sharp tune.
Edit to add, always check the date on your bottle, it expires 5 years after the date shown. I just got a bottle from 2017. I got a refund when I reached out to the company. It’s etched in to the bottle
At the bottom. It’s the code to the right. This one was bottled in 10/26/17. I’d be curious to see what the dates are on your bottles
Edit: I asked him how many hours he has on it, he said 20 so far.
