Apparently this topic needed to be revisited!

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Two-stroke oil (also referred to as two-cycle oil, 2-cycle oil, 2T oil or 2-stroke oil) is an engine oil intended for use in two-stroke engines.

Someone seems to have missed out 2-stroke diesel engines that use '4-stroke' oil in the oil sump!!
What is sold under the name of '2-stroke oil', is oil intended for use in GASOLINE engines where the oil is mixed with fuel or injected into the engine, but may go through the combustion and exit with the exhaust, partly or fully burned. One of the main technical differences is the flash point of the oil.

I have never been able to buy two stroke or four stroke motor oil. Every store I go to only has Two Cycle and 4 Cycle Motor oil.

How can a 9 year old thread on this subject still be getting replies.
