You should use the appropriate oil for the type of motor it is. 4-strokes should have 4-stroke oil and 2-strokes should have 2-stroke oil.

my friend bought a used 4 stroke 4 wheeler and the first day the oil started shooting from the head,she took it back and he ran hoses from crankcaase to head, and the previous owner told her to use 2 stroke in crankcase.makes no sence unless hes rigged it up to work temporaraly.

This means for every 50 parts of gasoline, you should add 1 part of 2-stroke oil. It's important to use high-quality, low-ash 2-stroke oil to ensure optimal performance and engine longevity.

Can you use 2-stroke oil for your lawnmower?

Using 2-stroke oil in a lawnmower is not recommended unless the mower is specifically designed for a 2-stroke engine. Most lawnmowers operate on 4-stroke engines, which require a different type of oil, typically SAE-rated motor oil. Using 2-stroke oil can lead to improper lubrication, increased emissions, and potential engine damage. Always consult the owner's manual for the appropriate oil type for your lawnmower.
