Here's why:
* 4-stroke engines have a separate oil sump for lubrication, which is why they don't require pre-mixing oil with gas.
* 2-stroke engines rely on the gas and oil mixture to lubricate the engine.
So, regardless of the year, all Kawasaki Bayou 220 ATVs will have a 4-stroke engine and you'll need to add oil separately to the engine.
