See full version: Is two stroke oil the same as two cycle oil
Re: Is two stroke oil the same as two cycle oil?
Two-stroke oil is different from regular motor oil. It is thin and specifically made to mix with gasoline in the gas tank of two-stroke engines. This is how the piston is lubricated in a two-stroke engine.
Re: Is two stroke oil the same as two cycle oil? here
A "stroke" describes the linear, or up and down, action the piston makes within its cylinder. One stroke for the piston to move up and one stroke for the piston to move down. A "cycle" describes the circular action of the crankshaft. One complete revolution of the crankshaft equals one cycle. here
Not Necessarily! There is 2 cycle oil for air cooled engines like lawn mowers, snow blowers, and then there is Marine engine 2 cycle oil.
NO, NO, NO!! They are DIFFERENT!! [links]
Re: Is two stroke oil the same as two cycle oil?
To understand the difference between the two engines, you must know what a stroke is. It takes four processes to burn fuel with each process comprising one stroke. Listed below are the four individual strokes that are involved in the four-stroke process.
Another difference is that two-stroke engines don’t need valves because intake and exhaust are part of the compression and combustion of the piston. Instead, there is an exhaust port in the combustion chamber. [links]
The first stroke is intake stroke. The process of operating an engine begins with the intake stroke, where the piston is pulled in a downward direction. This allows a mixture of fuel and air to enter the combustion chamber through the intake valve. During the starting process, power to complete the intake stroke is supplied by the starter motor, which is and electric motor attached to the flywheel, which spins the crankshaft and moves each individual cylinder.
Four cycle engines use the same gas you buy for your vehicle and can contain up to 10% ethanol (you should not use E85 gas as it is not compatible with either 2-cycle or 4-cycle motors commonly found in small lawn trimmers and cutting machines). more
4-cycle (sometimes referred to as 4-stroke) engines are more akin to what you will find in your car. 4-stroke motors also have a crankcase and an oil distribution system that keeps the oil separate from the gas as it lubricates the engine components. Since the oil is separate, it also needs to be periodically changed—typically after every 25 hours of use. more
2-cycle (sometimes referred to as 2-stroke) engines are typically thought of as those motors which accept a pre-mixed gas-oil mixture. This mixture, which can range from 50:1 to 20:1 depending on the motor, both supplies fuel, and lubrication to the motor during operation.
With the advent of newer trimmer and lawn products that include 4-cycle engines, we are often asked the question: 2 Cycle vs 4 Cycle Engines – Which is Better?
