i was wondering about using marine 2stroke oil as a premix. is this a good idea? i figured 2stroke oil is 2stroke oil, but i figured i better ask first.

 

NO offense but your questions are commonly asked,and should be researched before posting.
YES you can use it,the question is why?Is it cheaper?
get 2 stroke at Walmart..call it a day.If you want to Bling out your 2 stoke then go Ash-less Amsoil.
Sorry,I believe that the engine will blow(due to something..it usually does according to threads here..lol) before the full effects of Premix are seen anyways!

 

most any TCW3 rated 2 stroke oil is suited for generic uses including marine.

 

sorry. my phone kinda acts up when i try the search engine. and i'm not going to rely on premix alone. i'm just gonna use it as a precautionary measure in the event that the oil metering system should fail. i like having some sort of back up rather than having a blown engine. thank you for the info and i will look into the amsoil. i'm sure my friend can get it at a discount for me. the shop he works at does a lot of dealing with them.
