Using premium gas in all your tools won't hurt anything, and there is
no such thing as too much oil. One mix, 25:1, 93 octane. Done.
Too much oil causes lower operating temps which
in turn causes excessive carbon buildup, premature wear, and plug
fouling.
1. 2-stroke oil burns hotter than fuel (according to Dirt Bike
Magazine - and they know more about 2-strokes than anybody here).
More oil = more heat.
2. More oil = less fuel = lean burn = more heat.
Double whammy.
25:1 in an engine jetted for 100:1 will kill it.
