Re: mixing 2 stroke oils
Well, what if they don't mix, what do you have? Something like marble swirl ice cream I'd guess where you could see swirls of both. But so what. It's not like your curdle milk if you pour alcohol into it.
Both are oils, and both would lubricate if use independently, so what's the beef? Your engine probably can't tell the difference between the oils or the fact that they are segregated or homogenized.
Same thing in lower unit oils. Merc lower unit oils suggest you don't mix them. Only reason I can think of that would hurt anything would be if you ran non-high perf oil in a high perf gearbox and it couldn't stand up to the gear/bearing load and squished out.
Same with antifreeze. So what if they don't combine? I notice that Prestone says theirs will mix with any (meaning reg Eth Gly or the 150,00 mi pink stuff) anti freeze.
Go for it.
