We always used to run the aircooled DAPs in the Blues on 250 ml per 5 litres and that was on R40 pure castor oil. They were essentially Formula "A" engines from 1989.

Using a more modern semi-synthetic oil (747) in the water cooled Lynx one can get down to 2% mix reasonably safely though many people use 4% (200 ml per 5 litres).

But then water cooled engines run much cooler cylinder temepratures than air cooled, even if the EGTs are about the same.
