Synthetic should be able to begin at 50:1 and go up to 100:1. Just keep in mind that for ‘black’ plug fouling the thinner you go (50:1 is thinner, less viscous than 20:1) more fuel goes trough the jet and is actually a richer mixture in the cylinder.

How much oil should I put in my Vespa?
If the autolube is working, then you are probably running on a 5 – 6% mix, way too much. Malossi say you can run with standard autolube if you are running standard 24mm carb, so if that is your set up and the autolube is deffo working, I’d stick with that and not add any extra oil. If you disconnect the autolube, go with a 3% mix as Malossi advise.
