Just wondering how safe it is to run 2 stroke oil from a lawn mower. I accidentally purchased it from my local BILO thinking it was regular car oil and didn’t realise what I had done before I had done the oil change.
Some Junkie at the train station wearing a ford hat told me that it shouldn’t do any harm as long as I change the oil after 8000 K’s. Is this true? Iv been driving around for about 3 days and it seems a bit noisy but hey, its an EA. |

No, it is not safe to run it on the two stroke oil.

8pac, don't stress mate, its all fiction, if you knew the person you would be encouraging him to put 2 stroke in it! Why not put some extra virgin olive oil in there, make it a real wog car!

this is a joke right, who would put 2 stroke in there motor and not relise, and the cost difference, i stand there for 20 mins deciding what oil to use this time, i normaly go for ones that are going with the extra liter free coz the old girl takes 5.5 liters and most oil comes in 5.

oh **** me this is stupid. running two stroke oil will not last too long as it is not designed for it.
I would be draining it quick smart and replacing the oil twice or so including the filter to make sure its properly flushed. thats like saying can i use vinagar for brake fluid. |
