Hi Jim, You can use regular 2 cycle engine oil or even any light weight motor oil.
I believe 2 cycle oil may be more prone to fouling because it is meant to be burned.
A good burn is difficult to achieve in an engine that always runs cool.
I am aware that some model engine guys like to use WD-40 however it is a fairly poor lubricant.


Do you think they would let us mail you a bottle of mystery oil?
