What happens if you put 2 stroke oil in a car?

What happens if you put 2 stroke oil in a car?
Similarly one may ask, what oil should I use in my 2 stroke? here
Our top pick for the best two-stroke oil is the Lucas Oil Semi-Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil. It comes in a wide range of different sizes and works well in a number of different two-stroke engines. If you're looking for our best value pick, check out the Pennzoil Marine XLF 2-Cycle Oil.
Additionally, can you use 10w30 instead of 2 stroke oil? Sure you can use 10w30 in place of 2 stroke oil. Be prepared for more smoke and build up on the exhaust port. In short it's not such a great idea when two stroke oil is readily available. Furthermore I would recommend Mobil 1 Racing 2T if you can find it. [links]
Two-stroke oil (also referred to as two-cycle oil, 2-cycle oil, 2T oil, or 2-stroke oil) is a special type of motor oil intended for use in crankcase compression two-stroke engines.
Two stroke engines mix gas and oil to power up an automobile. It is so to avoid the damage that might happen to the engine. Running a vehicle on two stroke fuel for a temporary basis will not harm at all. But make sure to clean and fill up the tank with straight specific fuel immediately. [links]
What is the correct mixture/ratio of modern Petrol to Oil for a early 1950's Villiers Midget 98cc 2 stroke engine? I've tried 25:1 but I'm getting a bit too much smoke and the engine coughs and doesn't run as smooth as I would expect.
I run mine on 32 to 1 but use a straight30 grade engine oil rather than a modern two
stroke type.Supposedly this is better for old style bearings.
Thanks for you reply. It's funny that you mention 32:1 because I run my 34cc JAP engine with that same mixture, as per the original 1950's instructions. It's mounted on the Qualcast Powered Panther and has always ran very well. I may try that ratio on the Midget and see how it goes although I'll be using modern 2-stroke oil.
When the motor is idling, or at lower rpms, that’s when the machine has a greater chance of fouling a plug. Minibikes and 125s have even less chance of fouling plugs, because they are ridden at such high rpm. Because of the ultra high rpm, the load on a given part is much higher on a 125, than on an Open bike.
One of the things you should do, is run high octane gas with any two-stroke mix. When all of the two strokes (the old days) were developed, they all used Castrol petroleum oil at a 20:1 ratio and found that 92 octane gas had the octane reduced to 72 with presence of that much oil. Modern oils won’t affect the fuel quite as much, but if you started with 86 or 87 octane regular fuel, you can see where you’ll end with a very low octane mix. You could end up with a “pinging” bike.
Plugs should not foul at richer ratios if you are using high-quality oil in the mix. High-quality oils will have a good detergent/dispersing package that holds down the contaminants which produce plug fouling.
Now completely unrelated is the fact that extra oil provides extra lube which does protect a saw that constantly operates at high RPMs. This is why a slightly lower mix ratio is recommended for example when milling - but the amount it changes the air to gas ratio is trivial.
Now look at what else varies the air to fuel mix ratio. The total amount of air getting into the cylinder is influence by the atmospheric pressure which can commonly vary between 1000 to 1020 mb over a few days. This change represents a 2% change in air pressure and means the saw will get more
There’s a myth that the less oil you use in your gas, the more horse#power you get. Conversely, many dirt riders actually forget to put any oil whatsoever. We know of one guy who forgot to mix oil into his gas and actually rode it for two hours without seizing it. All the bearings were ruined and the piston was worn out, but it didn’t seize! [links]
Yes. Don’t store any fuel – mixed or unmixed – for longer than 30 days. Old gasoline can hurt an engine’s power output, cause buildup and blockage in engine parts, and make starting more difficult. Storing gasoline with a fuel stabilizer can help extend the life of the gasoline. Keep in mind, some two-cycle oils include fuel stabilizer so make sure to check the bottle first. [links]
What’s the Best Fuel for My Engine? more
Using the proper oil-to-gas ratio is important, but if you’re off, it’s better to mix too much oil into your engine than mixing too little oil. Excess oil can produce a smoky exhaust, oil leaking out of the muffler, and sometimes loss of power. While not ideal, these issues can be fixed by simply replacing the fuel in the tank with properly mixed fuel. But running a two-cycle engine with too little oil can actually destroy the unit. Oil helps cool the piston and cylinder by keeping them evenly lubricated. Without lubrication, the metals can melt and potentially grate against each other, transferring metal to and from one another and permanently distorting them. Loss of engine power is a strong indicator that this has occurred. more

These disadvantages mean that two-stroke engines are used only in applications where the motor is not used very often and a fantastic power-to-weight ratio is important. [links]
Each time a new charge of air/fuel is loaded into the combustion chamber, part of it leaks out through the exhaust port. That's why you see a sheen of oil around any two-stroke boat motor. The leaking hydrocarbons from the fresh fuel combined with the leaking oil is a real mess for the environment. more
You can now see that two-stroke engines have two important advantages over four-stroke engines: They are simpler and lighter, and they produce about twice as much power. So why do cars and trucks use four-stroke engines? There are four main reasons: more
In the meantime, manufacturers have been working to shrink and lighten four-stroke engines, and you can see that research coming to market in a variety of new marine and lawn-care products. more
