2-Cycle engine oil amount to put in 2 gallon gas container (CCR 3650)

This is my first post on this board and hope you guys can help me. I have a 1 year old CCR 3650 Snow Blower and forgot what I did last year w/the oil-gas amount. My gas container is 2.5 Gals. and I have the small Stihl 2 Cycle engine oil bottle that says mix 1 bottle with 1 gallon of gas for 50:1 ratio (fill 1 gallon can half-full of gas, then add oil, mix - then fill remaining other half with gas) I think the store ran out of 1 gallon cans last year and told me to just fill the 2.5 gal. can they gave me with 1 gallon of gas, etc. So, tonite I went and put 2 gallons of gas (not 2.5) thinking I'd mix 2 of the bottles into the 2 gallons of gas I put in, but didn't look at the directions on the still bottle (1 bottle for 1 gal. can) until I got home. My question is can I dump 2 bottles of Stihl oil into 2 gallons of gas and mix? Would that in any way damage my blower at all? Thanks!! Ken |

It sounds like the little container you have is 2.6 oz. which is what you need to get a 50:1 mix, with 1 gal of gas, so 2.6 oz of oil x 2.5 gal of gas, comes out to 6.5 oz of oil that you would need to add to 2.5 gal. of gas... One bottle for each gal is an easier way of doing it.... The way you did it is perfect.
