An engine needs lubrication to reduce friction and prevent overheating of the internal parts. Oil is added to the gasoline in a 2-cycle engine because this type of engine does not have an oil reservoir.

How do you mix 2 cycle engine oil?

Look on the oil container and the engine that you want to use it in. The engine will tell you what ratio to mix the oil and gas at. The container of oil will tell you what amount of gas should be mixed with it. I have found that the best way is to put the oil into an approved gas can and then add the gas to it. This helps to mix the oil better.
