What is the proper oil gas mixture for a homelite XL-12 chainsaw?

The proper oil/gas mixture for a Homelite XL-12 chainsaw is 50:1. This means that for every gallon of gas, you will add 2.6 ounces of oil.

Be sure to use a good quality 2-cycle oil that is specifically designed for chainsaws. Do not use automotive oil, as it is not formulated for the high-RPM operation of a chainsaw engine and could cause damage.

When mixing the oil and gas, be sure to do so in a well-ventilated area and avoid contact with skin and eyes. Always read and follow the safety instructions on the oil and gas containers.
