Everyone has their opinion, and I respect everyone's right to their opinion. But I personally think that the "more is better" philosophy for everything is a fallacy. If it has been engineered to be best at 50:1, then it provides it's best protection at 50:1. Some people seem to think that they compromise their protection to improve in other areas such as "clean burning" attributes. While I can't speak for other companies, I can speak for Amsoil and that is just plain wrong. Amsoil does not sacrifice protection for ANY other attributes. Protection has always been their first priority as a company, its also the main purpose of putting the oil in your gas in the first place, to lubricate and protect moving parts. Dominator, along with several of their other Amsoil 2 stroke oils, has been tested all the way up to 300:1, and still with good protection. But the best protection, along with other attributes, were found at 50:1. Again, I'm not knocking you guys. If it is gives you peace of mind to run at 24:1 or 32:1 or even 20:1, then do it. You are still using the product, and you're happy with it. :redbull:
