Oops wrong oil

[rusty.western.flyer]

Motor oil is fine in a 2t, you'll just foul the plug sooner and have more smoke out the pipe. Most 2t oils have an ash inhibitor. I use Echo or Lucas since i get it in bulk.

Also, I run 50:1 (DISCLAIMER, THIS IS NOT ADVICE!!!!).

I don't think it'll do much harm, but couldn't you just drain the oil back into the container and replace it with the correct oil?

You do realise the OP is talking about his Phat Moto 4 stroke, Right???

He is not mixing oil and gas like a 2 stroke but filling his crankcase on a 4 stroker.

Typically you want .001 per 1" per journal size if there's an oil pump.
