Korr is right^
Look for a separate oil reservoir tank. Look in your manual or on-line. As for ratio if pre-mix, I usually run about a 28-35/1 in my old Husky. I recommend the Lucas synthetic. Kinda pricey, but nice to your engine and good clean burn.

I either run belray or yamalube in the banshees, or the other dirt bikes. I ran 40:1 premix most of the time. My CR480 liked a little leaner still.
Since you have the oiler system, ie separate oil tank, keep that filled with 2 stroke oil, put regular gas in the gas tank.
