if you are break-in an engine do 25:1, meaning 25 parts of gas to 1 of oil, so if you are are mixing 1 gal of fuel you must use 5.12 oz of oil.
Once you are done with the break-in process you can use 32:1 which comes to 4 oz even.
Some people go all the way down to 50:1 which is 2.56 oz of oil.
So the less oil you use the move performance you get, but at the expense of durability.
