General rule guys for oil,if it is injector rated mix dont use as premix
Can you get any info out of Dumonde? I'd like to know if it mixes with alky fuels and stuff like that.

That's rough. I don't get that kind of dude. I guess I am from a different family of men. I do like my saber tgo. I do feel like it's great oil for this application. It also works well in my modded skis.

Two cycle lawnmower engines really need a tcw3 oil and the owners manuals, at least for my lawnboy specs such. They are run at low loading, constant rpm. Running low ash OPE leads to fouled plugs and mettalic deposits galore.

Really ?? , I used to be a L-B dealer and have repaired tons of them . Where do you get your info from ???
Use a good 2 cycle oil at 40:1 and you'll never have a problem , 32:1 burns too dirty and will eventually plug the exhaust ports . I ran my own D series for years on Castrol mix and it was clean .

recently put a head gasket on a briggs push mower piston was clean all the gunk was in the exhaust valve it doesn't smoke or burn oil.
crappy gas done it i guess the carb is not adjustable.

That's oil wash on that piston , it's pulling oil past the rings .

I have always ran Valvoline in my vehicles. I put a timing chain in my 97 RAM 1500 4x4 at 200k miles and the bottom end was clean as a pin. No caking or sludge, none of that crap. Neither the engine or transmission have ever been rebuilt. (Using Valvoline ATF+4 too). I think the truck has 266k on it now.
