I'm breaking in a five horse Nissan. During the break in it calls for a 20:1 ratio. I hate gallons and pints.

NO I am not going to tell you how many pints to a gallon.
What I am going to suggest is that you do a 10 second search on Google for that info.
As I recall that stuff was taught in the 3rd grade of primary school.

A link to a calculator.

Off to buy some motion lotion for this skiff.
A quart in five gallons (twenty quarts).
I don't know how much of that mix you'll need to use for the breakin.

I just bought three gallons of motion lotion, a full tank. The 19 oz. of two cycle oil I have will make it just the right mix.

one quart in 5 galons is exactly what my 1972 snowmobiles takes what will your motor use normally?
jeffery
btw their are 128 oz per galon most of my mixing is 24 to one for the post hole auger and 32 to one for the craftsman weedeaters and chain saws and about the same for the riobe weedeater (thats a trade name should call it "stringline trimmers"
