Anyone have an idea what the weight is for 2 cycle oil is? Bought a new Stihl weed eater and a 6 pack of Stihl synthetic. Oil was $15.99 plus tax. 6 pack was 4.6 ounces each and will make 6 gallons. Purchase of a 6 pack extends warranty by 2 years.
I've always just seen it sold as two cycle engine oil, no weight specified. It's not the same formulation as any four-stroke engine oil; if nothing else, I believe the additives are quite different since it is by design burned with the gas.
I used to have an old Sno-Jet snowmobile with a Yamaha 338 engine that needed a 20:1 oil mixture. I would buy the two cycle oil by the gallon for that machine, at a considerable savings in cost. Obviously your weed eater is not going to use anywhere near as much oil as that!
