* 4-stroke engines: These engines use 4-stroke oil, which is specifically designed for gasoline-powered engines.
* 2-stroke engines: These engines use a 2-stroke oil/gasoline mixture. They do not use standard 4-stroke oil.
To determine which type of oil your engine needs, consult your owner's manual. It will clearly specify the type of oil required.
Here are some ways to find out if your engine is 4-stroke or 2-stroke:
* Check the owner's manual: This is the most reliable source of information.
* Look for oil markings on the engine: 4-stroke engines usually have an oil dipstick, while 2-stroke engines might have a fuel/oil mix cap.
* Look for the engine brand and model: You can search online for information about your specific engine.
Important: Using the wrong type of oil can damage your engine. Always use the oil type recommended by the manufacturer.
