automotive oil in 4 stroke outboard Re: automotive oil in 4 stroke outboard. The short answer is yes. The long answer is that you would be better off using an FC-W rated oil. The key here is the word harm....I don't fault you for assuming that factory oil is better for an engine.

VRO STORYâThe Myth of the Mixer continuousWave --> Whaler --> Reference. Two-stroke outboard motors have traditionally used a mixture of gasoline and lubricating oil as their fuel. A long standing practice was to pre-mix the gasoline and oil together in the boat's fuel tank.

- Yes, you may use car oil in your lawnmower but it is not recommended to use multiweight oil. Use 30 weight only. Reason; the chemicals in multiweight won't cool the aircooled engine as well as 30 weight.

Notes on the Troubleshooting and Repair of Small Gasoline Engines and Rotary Lawn Mowers Fuel: Most 2-stroke engines require that you mix the fuel with a special oil. In most small 2-stroke engines (like those for string-trimmers and chainsaws) the oil is mixed with the gasoline. In larger engines, the fuel is injected into the engine. This oil is required to lubricate the engine.

- A four stroke engine runs off four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. The four stroke has valves and a cam shaft for exhaust and intake. A two stroke uses two strokes: the intake after the power and the compression and the exhaust at the same time. Two strokes use two-stroke mix which is often 3:1 4:1 and 5:1 they make mix for this. there isn't a gas station with mix in the gas.

1999 sea doo gtx limited #2. Re: 1999 sea doo gtx limited. Around 60kph, counterbalance shaft oil is something to keep in mind because if it runs dry it will do damage and its not included in regular servicing. I put 30ml of oil in mine every now and then just to keep it happy, mention it to whoever does your servicing.3. Re: 1999 sea doo gtx limited. - Routine maintenance is important. These things can be expensive to repair. - Learn how to run the engine on land without blowing it up or injesting water (yes there's a specific method). - Use the proper oil-which is NOT outboard motor oil.

- Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: YES, a 2 cycle engine has no oil sump to store oil. So if your engine has an oil dip stick, it indeed, is a 4 cycle! ALL, 2 cycle engines recieve lube through the fuel system and does not require an oil sump.Even a 2 stroke diesel engine ,which requires no addition of oil, also has no dip stick nor oil sump.eport Abuse. I would say it is a 4 stroke, but the dipstick might be indicating the oil level for a 2 stroke if your engine is OIL INJECTED. The surest way to tell the difference between a two stroke and a four stroke is that a two stroke does not use any valves.

What could happen if I use 2 cycle fuel in a 4 cycle engine? There is no difference between 2-cycle and 4-cycle fuel except that 2-cycle engines use the fuel as a lubricant, so oil has to be mixed in with the fuel (gasoline). 4-cycle engines are usually made to closer tolerances so having oil mixed with the fuel can gum them up and cause overheating.s long as you only add oil to the 2-cycle machine's fuel, then you are fine. Update, reading your question more closely I see you want to use the fuel mixed with oil. The answer is that it is not that great for a four cylinder engine, but it is doable.

Motor oil Motor oil is used for the lubrication, cooling, and cleaning of internal combustion engines. Motor oil may be composed of only a lubricant base stock in the case of non-detergent oil, or a lubricant base stock plus additives to improve the oil's detergency, extreme pressure performance, and ability to inhibit corrosion of engine parts.

How Two-stroke Engines Work There are four main disadvantages with a two-stroke engine: Two-stroke engines don't last nearly as long as four-stroke engines. The lack of a dedicated lubrication system means that the parts of a two-stroke engine wear a lot faster. Two-stroke oil is expensive, and you need about 4 ounces of it per gallon of gas.You would burn about a gallon of oil every 1,000 miles if you used a two-stroke engine in a car. Two-stroke engines do not use fuel efficiently, so you would get fewer miles per gallon.he lack of a dedicated lubrication system means that the parts of a two-stroke engine wear a lot faster.

- It's bombardier oil or if not available an api-tc spec, and there is always a never use tcw-3 outboard oil warning. Since api-tc is a simular oil to jaso or iso I can see them being ok with it. Also Polaris got bit by tcw3 oils with warranty issues on some of the aircooled atvs, and did a scramble to reformulate back to api-tc.

Can I Put Car Oil in My Craftsman Lawnmower? The wrong kind of oil can ruin your mower's engine. Craftsman offers a line of lawnmowers that includes both push and riding mowers. The engines in these mowers are smaller than car engines, but they work using the same combustion principles. This means they need oil, just as car engines do.

- If a 2-cycle engine does not get oil put in the gas it will seize up and be ruined. If a 4-cycle engine gets oil mixed in with the gas the carburetor may need to be overhauled and the spark plug replaced.Which is what happened to me. My dad didn't have the gas cans marked, and I didn't look closely enough.y old lawnmower died and isn't worth repairing. Old mower used gas mixed with 2-cycle oil. Have about 2 gallons of it in my garage. I bought a new mower yesterday and plan on using it for the first time tonight. It uses non-mixed gas. Can I use the rest of my mixed gas or would it mess up my new mower.

Can you use gas that has 2 cycle engine oil in a 4 cycle engine? This question is a bit weird, as 4-stroke engines don't need oil in the fuel. Many 2-stroke engines however do need oil in their fuel, and it should preferably be a special 2- … stroke oil.That oil dissolves better and burns cleaner. If you don't have 2-stroke oil the stock recommendation is to use engine oil, but at a higher concentration-say the double.ou can not use 4-cycle oil in a 2-cycle engine because the four cycle oil will not mix it is not designed to.Two cycle oil is designed to mix with fule to lube the two cycle … parts in your motor. 6 people found this useful.

A Guide to Dirt Bike Oils: 2-Stroke & 4-Stroke Two-stroke oil is a bit different than 4-stroke oil in that 2-stroke engine oil does not have weight indications. Additionally, two main types of 2-stroke oil exist: injector safe and pre-mix.Most dirt bikes fall into the pre-mix category that is combined with gas.wo-stroke oil is used in crankcase compression two-stroke engines. The four-stroke engine utilizes a closed crankcase. The crankcase in the two-stroke engine is used as part of the induction tract.

How to Decide Between a Two- or Four-Stroke Outboard Boat Engine The air-fuel mixture flows into the combustion chamber through intake valves, and the exhaust leaves the engine via exhaust valves. Because of these intake and exhaust valves (the valve train), a four-stroke outboard is usually heavier than a two-stroke outboard of the same horsepower.

What octane gas is best to use for a two stroke outboard motor. January 6th, 2012, 12:12 PM. Re: What octane gas is best to use for a two stroke outboard motor. If you're looking for solvents in the higher octane fuels to clean out the fuel system, the ethanol itself is a great solvent to loosen up crud in the fuel system.

What is the oil capacity of a 1970 johnson 60hp outboard? Best Answer: First, make sure which type of shift system your outboard is. This can be done by taking your outboard's serial number and model number on the transom plate to an OMC dealer or OMC service shop. If it is electric shift, then you need to get a different gear oil specified by OMC to use.Do NOT use regular lower unit gear oil on an electric shift outboard.If it is regular mechanical shift outboard, then fill will regular lower unit gear oil.f it is electric shift, then you need to get a different gear oil specified by OMC to use. Do NOT use regular lower unit gear oil on an electric shift outboard.

A Guide to Dirt Bike Oils: 2-Stroke & 4-Stroke Four-stroke oil is more like the oil used in cars but both 2-stroke and 4-stroke oil serve the same purpose - to keep the engine lubricated. Four-stroke dirt bike oil comes in a variety of weights like 10w-40, 20w-50 and so on. It is not mixed with gas.

- 1 The lack of a dedicated lubrication system means that the parts of a two-stroke engine wear a lot faster. 2  Two-stroke oil is expensive, and you need about 4 ounces of it per gallon of gas. 3  You would burn about a gallon of oil every 1,000 miles if you used a two-stroke engine in a car. The pollution comes from two sources. 2  The first is the combustion of the oil. 3  The oil makes all two-stroke engines smoky to some extent, and a badly worn two-stroke engine can emit huge clouds of oily smoke.

- I just bought a 2009 KIA Optima. The owner’s manual says I should use 5W20 oil in the engine. My dad used to fix cars and he said that this oil is too thin and that I should use “Straight 30 weight” in the winter and the 5W20 in the summer.

- If while it's true that most of the oil samples that get sent out for testing are used oil from a 4-stroke's crank case, to determine the health of the ENGINE, there is no reason you couldn't send out a sample of the oil you intend to use in your 2-stroke to test the health of the OIL.f while it's true that most of the oil samples that get sent out for testing are used oil from a 4-stroke's crank case, to determine the health of the ENGINE, there is no reason you couldn't send out a sample of the oil you intend to use in your 2-stroke to test the health of the OIL.
