2-stroke oil question

[The Penguin]

is it OK to use Pennzoil TCW-3 (either synthetic or semi-synthetic) in my other 2-stroke motors (chainsaw, weedeater, blower)?

I don't know if TCW-3 oil is higher quality than other - cause the manual on one says to use oil rated for air-cooled engines.

Thx!

always use my left over premix in any thing 2 stroke and never had any problems.

same here too...but when we bought our weedwacker the first year we had it we used the oil that went with it...if you have a husqvarna dealership(one that sells the weedwackers not the motorcycles) around you they sell oil special for weedwackers. and i love our husky!! that thing will cut through just about anything..

Don't use marine oil in chainsaws and some other smaller 2-strokes, it can't take the heat.

some of those little 2-strokes spec a lot more oil. I think my leaf blower runs 20:1.

I run the same premix 40:1 in all my small engines at the house,even 4 strokes. I just love the smell.

i run left over race gas from our karts in my lawn equipment. we use burris castor oil and mix it 8oz to a gallon, it smells real good

I thought that might be the case. I found some "regular" 2-stroke oil in the garage, so I used it instead.

just an fyi, any aircooled engine requires an api-tc certified oil(low ash). They are designed for the higher rpms(over 8000) where the oil will burn off completely(these oils will gum up any ski without powervalves).
Twc3 oils are for skis that have reed motors and no powervalves or any outboard motor.
