[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 337568, member: 357"] its an interesting one Jemba i'd love to hear the logic, my understanding of engines and oil basically 2 stroke is low ash or no ash burn that is they dont use the same additives knowing that the oil needs to be completely removed and burnt up on compression. 4 stroke or plain engine oil is completely different and you want properties that bond to your metallic surfaces and seal for compression to maintain good pressure, manage friction and that can handle the heat so the additives in engine oil contain additives for that purpose. I suppose so long as the 2 stroke isn't being burnt up and can handle the hi temperatures of the engine there's no reason why it would harm a 4 stroke but i still cant fathom why it would be better than the specified product for the job, maybe its a old adapted method from before we had quality control in our oils. Fascinating idea [/QUOTE]
