A 2-cycle engine is a small light weight internal combustion engine mainly used in gardening equipment, off road motorcycles, chainsaws, and until a few years ago, all outboard motors. They are generally banned in California for most uses, however, because of the very strict anti-pollution laws there. Rather than having a crankcase filled with oil, as in a 4-stroke engine, the lubricating oil is mixed with the gasoline itself to lubricate the engine. The selling point of the two-stroke design is maximum horsepower with minimum weight (the chain saw being a classic example).

Does Yamaha 80cc 4 stroke take 2-cycle oil?
No. In this case, stroke and cycle means the same thing. So 2-stroke/2-cycle engines should have 2-stroke/2-cycle oil and 4-stroke/4-cycle engines should have 4-stroke/4-cycle oil.

Does your lawn mower require 2 cycle engine oil?
If it is a 2-stroke engine, 2-cycle engine oil is added to the gasoline. If the engine is 4-stroke, regular 30W motor oil is used. To tell if your engine is 2-stroke or 4-stroke, look for a spout where oil is poured into the engine. If there is no spout, then the engine is 2-stroke and 2-cycle oil must be added to the gasoline.
What is the difference between 2 stroke oil and 2 cycle oil?
There is no difference between 2 stroke oil and 2 cycle oil. They are the identical product but are called different names. The 2 stroke refers to the engine type that the oil can be used in.
Can you use 2-cycle oil in a 4 cycle engine?
Absolutely not. Use only 4 cycle oil in a 4 stroke engine. 2 stroke oil is formulated to be mixed with gasoline and will not protect a 4 cycle engine.
Which oil to use for a Briggs and stratton engine 4 cycle vs 2 cycle oil?
