If you really, really have to, it's possible to mix-regular 4-stroke engine oil with the fuel instead. It's usually recommended to use a richer mixture in that case.
But it's overall far better to use the correct type - 2-stroke oil - instead.

How do you change oil in a two stroke engine?
There is no oil to change in a two stroke engine. The lubricant is the oil that is mixed with the gas.
What happens if you run a two stroke engine with no two stroke oil?
You freeze up the engine
Will four stroke oil damage two stroke engine?
You can use four stroke oil for a (very) limited period in a two stroke engine in an emergency. However it is not formulated for two stroke engines and is not recommended.
Is the 6.0 Briggs and Stratton engine a four-stroke or two-stroke?
The best way to know if an engine is 2-stroke or 4-stroke, is to look for an oil spout. If the engine has an oil spout where oil has to be poured into, it is a 4-stroke. If the engine has no oil spout and the oil has to be added to the fuel, then it is a 2-stroke.
Is two cycle oil and two stroke oil the same?
Yes. A 2 cycle engine is also called a 2 stroke engine.
Can you put 2 stroke oil in a 4 stroke lawnmower?
No - it is formulated very differently. The crankcase of a four stroke engine needs conventional engine oil. DO NOT use two stroke oil in the crankcase.
What is the difference between a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke lawn mower engine?
Four-stroke engines have a spout where you add oil to the engine. On two-stroke engines, oil has to be added to the fuel. (Four-stroke and two-stroke are also called four-cycle and two-cycle, respectively).
Is fuel for a two stroke engine fatal to a four stroke engine?
No it isn't fatal, but it would smoke quite a bit, because a two stroke engine needs two stroke oil mixed in the petrol, and a four stroke just needs petrol.
How do you tell if a lawn mower is a gas only or a gas oil engine?
A gas only engine has a spout where oil is added to the engine. If there is no spout, then it is a gas/oil engine. FYI - gas only engine is a four-stroke (four-cycle) engine and the gas/oil engine is two-stroke (two-cycle).
Do 47cc Pocket bikes need oil changes?
No. Because the engine is a two stroke. Make sure the engine is a two stroke though. If it is a tiny engine with 1 gear and a pull starter and makes a high pitch sound it is probably a two stroke. Consult your owners manuel or the manufacturer of the bike to see if it is a two stroke or four stroke engine. You will have to change the oil if it is a four stroke, but I think most 47 and not 49 cc bikes are two stroke. If it is a two stroke, no oil changes are required, but you will need to mix a certain amount of 2 stroke engine oil with the fuel. Your owners manuel or manufacturer should be able to tell you the ratio per gallon of gas you will need. Hopefully, this will help.
How often should the oil be changed in a Honda CR 125 R two stroke motorcycle?
There is no such thing as engine oil changes in two stroke motorcycle engines. The two stroke oil serves to lubricate the engine as it is mixed with gasoline. For the gearbox, on the average a yearly change of gear oil is sufficient.
What kind of gear oil should be used in mini motorcycles?
For stroke engine bikes use the engine oil as gear oil. In case of a two stroke engine you can use regular 80 W / 90 gear oil.
