Motor oil does in fact freeze. Most motor oil never actually reaches the point where it is cold enough to freeze though.
The gas to oil mix ration for the Johnson boat motor is 40:1 for this year and style outboard. Some people might suggest 50:1 but this can cause your motor to gall and may cause you to loose a ring or two.
Yes prolonged contact with motor oil can cause cancer.
It is a gas/oil mix motor, you don't change the oil.
Motor oil is usually not a single substance but rather a mixture of similar substances and as such does not usually freeze so much as congeal. The exact temperature would depend on the precise composition anyway.
can someone tell me what the gas to oil mixture for a 48 spl Johnson boat motor is please
If its an oil injected motor there is a tank that holds the mixing oil if its just a straight carburated motor the oil mixes with the gas in a can then put it in the gas tank.
there are 8 freeze plugs on the water jacket and 6 oil freeze plugs however you will have to pull the engine to get to the back of the motor to replace the 3 oil and 2 of the water jacket plugs
As long as the gas can was clean, then that would be ok.As long as the gas can was clean, then that would be ok.
Everything freezes at a low enough temperature. see related link for motor oil.
