For us metric types who buy oil by volume like petrol, what is 1oz to one
gallon as a ratio?
Ian RV6A Australia.

That is a fluid ounce as opposed to an ounce in weight Ian.
Very confusing I know. One fluid ounce is about 30 CC.
One U.S. gallon is about 4 liters. Not an imperial gallon.
That will get you close enough.

To be exact one US gallon is 3.785 liters.

   Ian,
    Or put as a ratio of fuel to oil it is 128 to 1.
