Question AMS oil

I want to run AMS oil in my rampage, can I change to the 50:1 that they recomend or should I stick with the recomended 25:1 ratio?

I use the Sabre 100:1 from Amsoil at 3 ounces per gallon which is around 50:1 Motor manufactures lean towards the safe side since they are not sure what the end user will use for oil.
The oil manufacture has a better idea of what their product can do at what ratio.
I have ran 3 ounces of Sabre for 5 years in all my large scales now no motor failures from loss of lube .

we run amsoil in our dirtbikes, used to run 50:1 and lost a bottom end in a ktm 105, i always ran 40:1 and never lost a bottom end but just to be safe we now run amsoil at 32:1. i ran my first tt w/amsoil at 40:1 and never had a problem but now that i have a full mod obr motor i run it at 25:1 just to be safe but i believe it could run at 32 or 40:1 and be ok. it seems wierd to put 10 oz of oil in 2 gal of gas, it's a lot of oil but might as well be safe.

I use "Motorex" Honda Motorsports say its their favorite for racing pre-mix

The bottle says 100:1 is OK...Before I rebuild my engine, I think I'm gonna try 40 or 50:1 for a 1/2 gal just to see the difference in performance...

Oh, Randman, 4oz per gallon is 32:1 - 5oz is 25:1

Klotz Oil at 20:1. I hate blowing motors for a few bucks in oil.
