Guys that work in motorcycle shops, who know 2 stroke oil pretty well, have been doing that for years. I first heard about it in 1970 when I started working at Triumph of Oklahoma City.

you know, I've always been curious to know what would happen in that situation, but I've never felt curious enough to potentially scrap an otherwise good engine to find out. seems like even if the viscosity were close, the additives used in each would be far different considering one is intended to be combusted and the other isn't.
