Does the 2 cycle need oil changes or do you just add oil like a chainsaw?

If the engine is a 2 cycle engine it has no crankcase and therefore there is no way to change the oil as it is mixed with the fuel.


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 oil in a 4 cycle engine crankcase?

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.


Does a 1cylinder engine take oil?

Yes. Any internal combustions needs oil for lubrication. 4 cycle engines have a provision for oil storage in a crankcase. 2 cycle engines require you mix 2 cycle oil with the gasoline.


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.


How many cycles does a Craftsman Briggs Stratton 550 158 cc 27 lawnmower?

If you have to add oil to the fuel, it is a 2-cycle engine. If you have to add oil through a filler spout into the crankcase, it is a 4-cycle engine.


How do you know if engine is 4-cycle or 2-cycle?

If the engine has an oil sump and an oil filler spout, it is a 4-cycle engine. On a 2-cycle engine, oil must be added to the fuel.


Can 2-cycle oil be use on any engine?

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.


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.


Will 2 cycle engine oil work for lawnmower?

Only if it is a 2 cycle engine and you mix the oil with the gasoline. If it is a 4 cycle engine, then using 2 cycle oil will destroy the engine over time. Use SAE 10w30 synthetic oil in your air cooled 4 cycle engine.


Would puting 2 cycle oil in a 4 cycle harm it?

in place of the crankcase oil yes, mixed in the gas it shouldn't if it isn't to strong


Why does 2 cycle engine run-on?

2-stroke engines run on a gas-oil mixture put directly into the gas tank. They do not have a crankcase that holds oil separately like most normal 4-stroke engines.
