2 stroke oils

Can I use 2stroke snowmobile oil in my chinese bike?

It's castrol 2t snowmobile oil.

Snowmobile oil is designed to stay mixed in colder weather more or less, which is important of course, especially with ethanol containing fuels. Generally speaking it won't or at least should not be harmful to a bike motor. Personally I'm finding high performance synthetics to be the best thing on these funny motors.

As long as it's not designed for oil injection I might add, if it's meant for oil injection systems then I'd steer clear of it since it doesn't behave the same.

It says for premix or injection. I got it for free from a Harley shop. I decided not to use it and stick with synthetics. Thanks for your input.

Snowmobile oil is acceptable.
Injector oil is designed to stay thin at low temps.
I am finding these engines work and survive best with old fashioned castor oil a 24:1, followed by synthetic at 32:1.
Marine 2 stroke oil is the worst to use. No heat tolerance.
