    Interesting to note that running your mix too oily can result in hotter internal temps too. This video uses a reasonably drastic example of 25:1 (compared to 50:1), so a much more exaggerated outcome than say 40 or 45 to 1, but still shows there definitely can be such a thing as too much oil, especially if running under heavy load over the longterm.
