there is NO measuring when using opti-2.....this product is usually sold in what is refered to as 1 GALLON or a 2 GALLON pouch. what this means is , if using a 1 GALLON gas can you use the 1 GALLON pouch.... the same goes for the 2 GALLON... just tear open the 1 gallon pouch, pour into 1 gallon gas can , then fill with gas..... no MEASURING needed.. this mix will now cover all fuel ratios from 16:1 to 100:1 you can go to opti's website to further understand..we are an opti dealer and i swear by the stuff in my strikemaster. it runs cleaner, faster, sounds better. there is virtually no exhaust smoke , great for ice houses. no more black snotty oil running out exhaust.
I buy Amzoil one quart at a time. I only make a gallon at a time. Just pour off the correct amount. I still find it hard to believe that if the bottle says 100-1 that anyone would mix it any different. No wonder I won so many races with the stuff
I'd like to think i could just use a good quality oil at the right mixture with regular gas but this brand new jiffy runs like garbage. I wouldn't like to think that i have to get amsoil or opti-2 and non ethonal gas to make the thing run well. I've also been told that shouldn't make to much of a diiference short term. I'm aggravated with it enough right now and jiffy/tecumsuh customer service that i have just stuck it in a corner and am using my nils 8 inch hand auger.
i'm trying again as i did not get an answer in my last post i want to try the opti-2 oil but am confused on how to mix it. I have a brand new Legend 31 3 hp that calls for 40:1. Do i mix this stuff 40:1?? or less?? Thanks
The jiffy oil wasn't available at dicks so i bought some decent (amelie) and mixed it properly, it is the first tank of gas. I called the customer service number that they give in the manual , which is tecumseh, it (automated service) gave me a out of business tecumseh dealer i called and called until i got a live person who said he was a warehouse worker who told me the only thing he could give me close to my area was the out of business dealer . so i called jiffy several times and received the same recording every time which stated due to high call volume call back later or go to our website. This customer service is totally unacceptable. even if i get it running good it 's going back to Dicks before the 90 day return is up. I should have paid attention to all the posts on here about jiffy. Will get my money back and pay the extra for a nils.. I will try dumping out the gas get a new plug and get some no ethanol gas and a diifferent oil, jiffy 3.2 if i can find it or the others mentioned on this site. How's that sound?? and thanks for your continued help
