32:1, etc. Mix it with the right amount of fuel and it can go in any
2-stroke engine. These are brand names such as Pulan. Is this a good
idea?

I always mix heavy on the oil and it hasn't hurt my stuff. But on the other
hand I buy cheap and replace at the first sign of trouble.

It's always been the same oil. A container marked 50:1 contains the
same oil as one marked 32:1, 16:1 ect.

Yes, it's a good idea. Generally the lower the oil ratio the lower the
quality. Oil sold as 16:1, when mixed as directed, will provide the same
lubrication as an oil sold as 50:1 when mixed as directed.
In other words mix according to the instructions on the oil not what the
equip mfg says. A one-mix is much simpler to deal with if you have
multiple brands of equipment. Ask what your local shop is using. I'm
sure it is one of the single mix.

If that was true then the 50:1 container would have a different oil
than that of the 16:1 container. That is not the case. A container of
Brand X 16:1 is the same exact oil as a can of 50:1 Brand X.
