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.
NO, not as lubrication in the crankcase.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Use 4 cycle oil if the engine is a 4 cycle engine. Use 2 cycle if it is a 2 cycle. Use the weight oil recommended by the manufacture of your ATV.
2-cycle oil in most cases can be used as long as it is used in a 2-cycle motor. The answer to your question is NO, you cannot use 2 cycle oil in any engine. Only use 2 cycle oil, in a 2 cycle engine.
Yes, if it is a 4 cycle boat engine. However if the engine is a 2 cycle engine you cannot use automobile 4 cycle oil and must use 2 cycle engine oil.
You can not use 4-cycle oil in a 2-cycle engine because the four cycle oil will not mix it is not designed to.Two cycle oil is designed to mix with fule to lube the two cycle parts in your motor.
If it is a 2 cycle engine then it is fine. If it is a 4 cycle engine then NO, do not use this oil. Always use the exact oil that is recommended by the manufacture.
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.
