I don't recommend running 16:1. I think it's too much oil and will eventually end up in your exhaust pipe. These little engines don't need it that thick. Just my opinion.

when you say no issues have you changed your clutchpads or atleast had to tighten the clutch yet

The thing is these engines come jetted to run 16:1 oil. China oil standards must not be that great. Im thinking they intended for oil to drip out of the exhaust. When using good oil you can run less oil, just to use less but this also richens your air to fuel mixture so if you run less oil you'll need either more air or less fuel.
I've adjusted my clutch but I haven't changed this pads yet. I try my best not to burnout the clutch. Like if I Coast down a hill with the clutch in I'd always rev match when I need to use the engine. And I pedal when I'm starting off. The clutch has been holding on like a champ
