I don't know the science behind their chemistries, but personally I would not use 2 cycle oil in a 4 cycle engine. 4 cycle oil is cheap enough, use the right stuff.

Why should you use oil in scooter with petrol?

If you do not use oil in the engine it will destroy itself due to lack of lubrication. If it is a 2 cycle you mix 2 cycle oil with the gasoline to lubricate the engine. If it is a 4 cycle then you put the oil in the crankcase to lubricate the engine.


Can you use 2 cycle engine oil in a lawn mower?

Depends on the lawnmower. Some older lawn mowers used two-stroke engines, and you mixed the two-cycle oil with the gas. But 99% of modern lawnmowers use a four-stroke engine with a crankcase. So if the question is: "Can I use two-cycle oil in the crankcase?" the answer is an emphatic NO. It will likely destroy the engine.


What is the oil to gas ratio for 4 cycle engine?

A four cycle engine does not use a gas/oil mixture. The oil is in the crankcase and the gas goes in the gas tank. If you put oil in the gas on a 4 cycle engine it will run poorly and smoke a lot.


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 crankcase oil capacity for a 1980 Yamaha Enticer snowmobile?

I have an 1980 Yamaha Enticer 250 (ET250D). Here's what the sticker under the hoods says...The oil capacity for the "Chain Case" is 15.21 oz (or 450 cc).If you are talking about the engine crankcase, there is no oil in the crankcase of a two-stroke engine. It is lubricated by the oil that is mixed into the gas.I am not sure what weight oil to use. The dealer told me to use Yamaha Chain Case Oil (but he didn't know the weight of the oil).Hope this helps!TK

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.
