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

Two cycle oil is often 30 weight. Many two cycle oils list the
viscosity on the label. Should run fine, even if left in there. The
advantage is that any oil that gets past the piston rings won't smoke
as much when it burns.

To get oil out of the cylinder. Remove the spark plug, and pull the
start cord (or turn the starter). The oil comes flying out the spark
plug hole.

2 cycle is thinner , doesnt have viscosity additives, isnt designed
for the machine, I would change it but it wont kill it right away.


Thanks.
