Other than weed whackers my 2 stroke experience was with a car. They said use Saab oil which if remember was 50:1 gas to oil, or #30 detergent motor oil at 32:1. One quart per 8 gals of gas, which was my choice. Just smoked more is all. Why the 2 cycle can be used much less per gallon I don’t know or really want to know, but I think the smoke is what it’s all about. Especially with weed whacking who wants to be inhaling more oil?
This was owners manual recommendation. There were no negative effects on engine life or lubrication to use 30 detergent motor oil. The whole thing was about smoke.
