I"v used carlube/ Oregon / Tesco"s finest", all are semi synthetic, and pre mix well ,, as i mix drums "Transperent" for chainsaws too, i give drum a good shake, and petrol turns blood red ,and never separates, even sitting for weeks, Mineral oils such as Shell SX Advance, are thicker, even Castrol R40 [glue] pre-mix , but need a dam good shake.
