Technical Specifications

Mixing too much oil in your 2-cycle engine is much less damaging to the engine than mixing too
little oil. If there's only a little too much oil in the mixture, you may not notice any difference in
your engine's performance at all. The important thing is that it's being lubricated. Smoky exhaust,
oil out the muffler and loss of engine power are some of the symptoms that might appear if a lot
of extra oil is mixed in the fuel. Fixing any of these problems is as easy as discarding the over-
oiled fuel and replacing it with fuel mixed at the proper ratio.
Engine Damage Not Covered Under the Manufacturer’s Warranty
Running a 2-cycle engine without any oil in the fuel will completely destroy the engine in
seconds.
The engine's piston and cylinder become extremely hot without lubrication through the fuel
system. Without any oil at all, the metal of these precisely shaped and sized parts actually melt
and then transfer material back and forth between the piston and cylinder. When metal transfers
between the moving parts of an engine because of heat, it is called galling. Galling distorts the
shape of the piston and cylinder. You'll know that it's happened almost immediately, because the
engine will seize and become
permanently unusable.
Mixing too little oil in you 2-cycle engine will similarly damage your engine, but over a
longer period of time.
Lack of engine power is the most prominent sign that a 2-cycle engine is running on too little oil.
Permanent damage can be prevented if the problem is corrected early, but such an outcome
would be very fortunate. It is so important to mix your 2-cycle engine oil at the correct ratio.
Using fresh fuel and the correct oil/gas mixture ratio prevents potential problems.
