It all depends on you. 4 cycle trimmers do not require mixing of oil and gas. The gas that you use for your lawn mower or tractor is the same gas for your trimmer. They also provide more torque than a 2 cycle trimmer. 2 cycle trimmers require mixing of fuel and gas and are generally lighter in weight than 4 cycle trimmers.
You will need 2 wrenches turning in opposite directions on the retaining nut - its not vey complicated.
20w/50 is what comes with the 4-cycle string trimmer. While Home Depot is the sole distributor of Ryobi tools, they do not have the oil in Montgomery, AL
The engine on a 4-cycle Craftsman trimmer is typically manufactured by companies like Briggs & Stratton or other third-party manufacturers. Craftsman often sources engines from these reputable brands to ensure reliability and performance. To confirm the specific engine model, it's best to check the trimmer's user manual or product specifications.

four strokes are more work ( if break down must replace like valves in stuff) and are more expensive, and heaver. two strokes are light and powerful, and plus they make non smoke premix now so now you can see the grass instead albino haze floating around you. the cheapest 2 stroke is about 60 and the cheapest 4 stroke is about 140 on ebay, if i were you I'd get a 2 stroke trimmer
A 2-cycle engine completes a power cycle in two strokes of the piston, while a 4-cycle engine completes it in four strokes. 2-cycle engines are simpler and lighter but less fuel-efficient and produce more emissions. 4-cycle engines are more complex but offer better fuel efficiency and lower emissions, resulting in better overall performance and efficiency.
A 4-cycle engine has four stages (intake, compression, power, exhaust) in one cycle, while a 2-cycle engine has only two stages (combustion and exhaust). 4-cycle engines typically have better fuel efficiency and lower emissions, but 2-cycle engines are simpler and can produce more power for their size.
No. In this case, stroke and cycle means the same thing. So 2-stroke/2-cycle engines should have 2-stroke/2-cycle oil and 4-stroke/4-cycle engines should have 4-stroke/4-cycle oil.
if you have to mix oil with the gas its 2 stroke or cycle and if you have to change the oil its a 4 stroke or cycle
unless it says 4 cycle fill it about a inch from full & use 2 cycle oil to finiush the other inch & fill it. always put the gas in first & then the oil. shake the trimmer a little to get it mixed all through the gas.
NO!2-cycle fuel has the oil added to it. In a 4-cycle engine, the oil is separate. If you use 2 cycle fuel in a 4 cycle engine it would be like dumping 10w-30 oil into the fuel tank of your car along with the gasoline - NOT A GOOD IDEA!NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!!! Use only 4 cycle oil in a 4 cycle and 2 cycle mixed with the fuel in a 2 cycle. Why would you even consider doing this?
