Yes, you can. Use it in the same proportions you would use 2 stroke oil. The main point being to maintain the lubricating qualities of the oil added to the fuel, too little can cause bearing and bore damage.
What can you use in place of 2-cycle oil?
In an emergency regular motor oil will suffice, but since it isn’t intended for 2-stroke use it doesn’t burn as clean and will leave carbon.
Can I use any oil for 2 stroke mix?
So for using motor oil in your 2 stroke engine, you’ll need to use non-detergent motor oil. Use the same proportions of motor oil you’d use for 2 stroke oil ratio. You may also use a 20:1 ratio of motor oil. This way, you’ll get better output.
What’s the difference between 2-cycle oil and regular motor oil?
Two-stroke (two-cycle) engines require you to mix the oil with the gas in exact amounts so the oil acts as a lubricant for the crankcase, while four-stroke engines take oil and gas separately. In a 2-stroke engine, it takes one full revolution (2 stages) to complete 1 power stroke.
