What do you switch oils for? Why not just stick to one?

32:1 is a safe ratio to ensure the life of your quad!

When I'm broke.. which is usually all the time.. I go to wal mart and buy evinrude TC-W3 2 stroke oil.. it's very rich.. I used to run it 40:1, but i stepped it up to 36:1. OH and while i'm here, I accidentally mixed it 36:1 and poured the oil in the tank.. before i got gas.. I put enough for 3 gallons of gas.. but it only held 2.. I rode it once since then.. it runs great.. what should I do? Thanks,

lonestarbanshee= u dont need to do anything but ride it, remember rich is good, lean is mean, but bad for motor and u are rich right now so it wont do anything but help, and it will smoke a lil more than usual but thats fine
