* Viscosity: Two-cycle oil is typically thinner than four-cycle oil. This is because two-cycle engines operate at higher RPMs than four-cycle engines and need oil that can flow more easily.
* Additives: Two-cycle oil contains more additives than four-cycle oil. These additives help to keep the engine clean, prevent wear, and reduce friction.
* Mix ratio: Two-cycle oil is mixed with gasoline before it is used in the engine. The mix ratio depends on the engine manufacturer's recommendations. Four-cycle oil is not mixed with gasoline.
Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between two-cycle and four-cycle motor oils:
| Feature | Two-cycle oil | Four-cycle oil |
|---|---|---|
| Viscosity | Thinner | Thicker |
| Additives | More additives | Fewer additives |
| Mix ratio | Mixed with gasoline | Not mixed with gasoline |
It is important to use the correct type of motor oil for your engine. Using the wrong type of oil can damage your engine.
