The general rule of thumb is 1oz per gallon.

I wouldn't use two stroke in my trucks - because I don't know what additives are present - that might damage my engine. A gallon of Canola oil won't do any damage 1:35 ratio

2-stroke is just oil. Its oil that is designed to lubricate and burn at the same time. It'll work just fine.

1oz per gallon is all you need.

I've used up to 6 gallons of used dino oil to a full tank. works fine for me, smells a little bit, and a little larger puff at startup but that'sbout it. I avg 5 gallons per fillup.

TCW-3 ashless, the Wally Word kind works great at about $9.00 or less a gallon. 1 oz per gal is what I use, works real well.

Ive run several gallons of WMO in my tank at a time. I dont really notice a change in mileage but then again Ive never checked. I know when I first started using 2-stroke at 1oz per gallon my in-town mileage jumped from 14-16.

It has yet to clog a filter on me, 2-stroke and WMO alike.

That WMO sure does make my old 12v pour smoke though =D
