Here is your answer. Yes
oil and gasoline mix and do not separate. We do it all the time for the old 2 cycle engines.
My son built a SBC. The new mechanical fuel pump had a hole in the diaphragm, unbeknownst to him. After the normal start up set timing, etc. it started to knock at idle. He called me to come listen to it. Car had an idiot light and it never came on. I said check the
oil. He said I just poured 5 quarts in, I know it is right. I said humor me, I'm old. He pulled the dipstick out and it was about 4 quarts over, thin as water, and smelled like gasoline.
Bottom line it was well mixed and never separated, when the engine was pulled apart a week later.
