Default OT?, what happens if you put 2-cycle oil in your lawnmower crankcase?

Plastic drain plugs strip and metal ones seize. It is the only
practical way to do it. (And most businesses do it this way)


Do note that you will likely need to tip it back upright, then over again a few
times to get out all the oil. And, you get more out if you warm up the engine
first.
