Old Whizzer pushing oil?

Well, I went for a 4 hour ride Yesterday and she ran great. A very tiny bit of oil came out of the breather in the first few miles of the ride and then no more. I kept an eye on it all day. The gas tank and oil was full when I left the house and when I got home I had about 1/4 tank of gas left and the oil was low just showing about 1/8" on the tip of the stick so, I'll have to carry oil with me from now on. I'll have to think more about working on the motor this winter because I don't like that it uses that much oil. It was very hot though, about 90 degrees. I shut the engine off on all of the long down hills to give it a break. I only putt along between 15 and 25 mph so, I am not pushing the engine much.
 
I use straight 40 weight in my Whizzers. I tried some Lucas synthetic once. I turned around about four houses down from me, went home and put the 40 weight back in it. I thought it was coming apart at the seams.
 
2 oz. of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer and straight 40 weight works good for me.

Thanks again Fella's I put the tall breather on and filled with 40 weight oil. I just went for a 2 hour ride (I have a nasty sinus headache but, it is too nice to sit inside) and when I got home the oil level was still over the old "full" mark and the engine liked the extra oil.
