Consequences of Using Four-Stroke Oil in a Two-Stroke Engine?
1 Answers
Using four-stroke oil in a two-stroke engine by mistake can lead to spark plug fouling, combustion deposits, and pre-ignition, causing engine deposits and black smoke. This results in incomplete combustion, leading to severe deposits, and in serious cases, engine power loss or engine damage. Using two-stroke motorcycle oil in a four-stroke motorcycle can cause the following consequences: 1. High wear (during both cold and hot operation); 2. Excessive crankcase sludge; 3. Blackened pistons and stuck rings (due to low detergency) (oils containing polyisobutylene are particularly poor); 4. Engine damage and power loss.
