I was thinking? What do you think?
With these crazy go green morons who are going to save the planet by taking away plastic bags. But everything else in plastic is ok .
O K this is what I was thinking about They are so friggin nutty that I'm sure they want everybody to have a 4 stroke outboard until they can figure how to get a electric outboard on every boat. What if they stop making 2 stroke oil, ? I don't know about you but I love my 2 stroke and the smell of the fumes it has. So I am going to buy 2 stroke oil and stock up on it just In case these idiots try to make it Illigal. What do you think? I know the 4 strokes are ok but not for me. Can't afford one and not like them anyway ,so don't beat me up on how great they are Thanks . Joey 2 stroke .

When my dad had the lawn mower shop, 68-87, we sold lawn boy mowers. They were 2 strokes made by OMC. We would put about 3 or 4 in rental service for the summer. We sold OMC oil, but ran our rental fleet of of Gulf Pride 30 wt. never had an issue
So, worst case, you could run 30wt.

Way back when I had a couple 30HP Evinrude engines (not at the same time). The instructions all called for them to run 30W oil. This was back in the 60-70's) I know there are reasons for using 2 stroke oil, but in a pinch I'd bet that 30W in the same ratio would work ok.

 Many current two-stroke outboard oils are built on a mid-viscosity base oil that would be considered around 20-weight, so 30W isn't all that different. You might like this link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4J76MgdyQc .

I will check it out later today
I know that guy on project farm does a lot of testing so I will definitely watch it. I never thought that regular oil (30 weight) would work and your right A storm is coming and thats all that I have. Put it in son and let's get going But getting back. To my original post, do you think that these green nuts would stop making 2 stroke oil ?
