Can you use SAE 5W-20 oil in a weed eater?

Answer 1

Using SAE 5W-20 oil in a weed eater is not recommended, as most weed eaters require a specific two-stroke oil mixed with gasoline for proper lubrication. Using automotive oil, like SAE 5W-20, can lead to improper combustion, increased wear, and potential damage to the engine. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines for the appropriate type of oil to use in your equipment.
