Default Is 2 Stroke Oil any different to Normal Oil?

Hi Guys

I have a device that uses 2 Stroke Oil (more about that later in my 'Cherry Blossom' Thread)

But is 2 Stroke Oil any different to Ordinary Engine Oil, apart from being very expensive and maybe not as good as Engine Oil

I am using the recommended Mix of 40/1

Thoughts appreciated

Cheers! Alex (OB)

Yes, they are different. This article explains it pretty well.

Hi OB,
Not sure about the difference, but the last time I bought 2 stroke oil for my elderly father's 1966 Rayleigh moped, Screwfix were the best on price and did the job.
Cheers,
LeeP
