Four stroke engines such as lawn mowers etc need only straight fuel. Either leaded or unleaded (depending on age and availability). no oil or other mixing is required
No you can not.
It depends if it is a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke. A 2 stroke engine, you mix the gas and oil. A 4 stroke engine, there are separate tanks for the oil and gas.
because, unlike a 4 stroke it doesn't have engine oil lubricating all the engine components, so in the fuel mixture there is oil mixed in to do this job, it is not as effective as the 4 stroke idea though.... which is usually why 2 stroke engines wear and tear more of time .
No if it says 4 stroke or 4 cycle you can not put it in a 2 stroke or 2cycle engine.
Depends on if this engine is a 2 stroke, 4 stroke, or rotary engine. I assume you are referring to a 4 stroke as found in the vast majority of automobiles built today. The answer is, At the top of the compression stroke. The 4 strokes of a 4 cycle engine are:# intake/induction stroke # compression stroke # power stroke # exhaust strokeDepends on if this engine is a 2 stroke, 4 stroke, or rotary engine.

you don't mix the oil/gas. you only do that on a 2 stroke engine. that is a 4 stroke. it has a separate reservoir where you put your oil. just put unleaded gas in tank and go.
If it is a 2-stroke engine, the oil/gas mixture has too much oil. If it is a 4-stroke engine, the oil sump is overfull.
Nothing at all!
Because of the way 2 stroke engines work. On a 4 stroke engine there are intake and exhaust valves in the head, and the crankcase is full of oil. On the intake stroke, the intake valve opens and the fuel-air mixture is sucked down into the cylinder. On a 2 stroke engine they put the fuel-air mixture into the crankcase. On the piston's down stroke, the bottom of the piston compresses the mixture. When the piston goes down far enough to open the inlet, the fuel-air mixture is squirted into the cylinder. If they put motor oil in the crankcase, you'd wind up squirting liquid oil into the cylinder. When the engine tried to "compress" the liquid oil, the incompressible liquid oil would break something.
As the name states there are 4 strokes in a 4 stroke engine. Intake, when the piston draws in air/Fuel mixture. Compression, when the intake valve closes and the piston moves to the top off the stroke. Power stroke, when the compressed mixture is ignited, forcing the piston down. Last the exhaust stroke when the piston starts moving up and expells the burnt gases.
Drain it out and replace with proper oil
If petrol mixes with engine oil in a 4 stroke engine then the mixture becomes thick and its combustion will not be efficient. The exhaust will be smoky due to this incomplete combustion. also this will reduce engine efficiency.
