LOL, downshifting and any other closed throttle condition where the RPMs are still above idle, very minimal wear (if any) but its just a concern I have. I dont race BTW, just a very spirited driver

If your carbed then specific gravity probably won't apply but most people are fuel injected and do that which makes no sense. I think it's a hold over from the carbed days.

Have you ever run across any info involving rotary's and de-octaning fuel due to oil? I haven't yet but it can make or break a piston motor. Poor little pistons always trying to explode.....that's cute lol! I'd say if any probably very minimal but I'm curious to know as well. I do know it's really hard to get detonation on NA Rotaries so maybe the oil de-octaning just falls in the category and does hardly ever occur.

How about hp tests? I wonder at what point you lose hp due to exsessive oil? It probably has never been tested for.
I'd say as long as the ratio isn't as high as a WeedEater's 40:1 it would go unnoticed
