Straight weight 50 for both, the quantities are right but mine runs cooler and doesnt smoke at all with the 50wt oil. The trans shifts a whole lot better too with it than the 20w50 I had been using.
For fuel I have been running a lot of 100LL avgas from the airport I work at which while the LL stands for Low Lead, it has 4 times the lead they used to use in car gas. It is a little pricey but it runs so smooth, smells sweet, is bright blue in color, and it turns the inside of my drag pipes white!
