Most two cycle engines aren't fussy. If you are using a good
name brand of oil, 4 ounces to a galon of good brand
gasoline runs in everything. Lawn Boy has the own brand of
oil, but that might be just marketing.

More oil will not hurt, except to foul the spark plug
sooner. Less oil risks lubrication failure, and siezing up
the crankshaft to the piston rod. Or other sieze ups. Piston
to wall, that kind of thing.

Some brands sell 3.2 ounce bottles of oil to mix with a
galon of gas, but I don't trust that lean a mix.

I have a 'Weed Eater', GBI 30V blower.

The instruction on the machine says to use 8oz of oil to 1
galllon of
gas. ( which sounds like a LOT of oil to me ) so I
downloaded a .pdf
Users Manual, in order to double check that.

Unfortunately the manual did not contain that information.

Can you tell me, please if that ' 8oz ' figure is correct?

TIA
