how about your old motor oil, why buy oil twice, just filter your old engine oil through like 5 or 6 coffee filters and dump that in the tank wham done. no more money on oil.

The first thing it does is lubricate your pump.
Next it burns as fuel.
I I buy the cheap Walmart stuff in the big blue bottle. It's TCW3. That's as good as any considering you're just burning it.

Agreed-- no UMO in *my* fuel!

The only thing that really matters for 2-stroke oil is making sure it's
"ashless". TCW3 rating is a good starting point.
