Oil to gas ratio.
50:1 since the late 60's
Too much oil will gum up the rings, smoke too much and foul plugs. Use ONLY major outboard manufacturers oil, Mercury, Yamaha, Johnson/Evinrude TCW-3. They work the best, and no alcohol fuel.
Should be 3.2 ounces per gallon (30:1) or 3.0 ounced to gallon (40:1) the oil acts as a lubricant for the cylinder walls and rings ... i'd error on the side of caution and used the 3.2 ounces per gallon
