Can you mix regular oil to gas for 2 stroke engines?

Updated: 10/20/2022

the type of oil used will determine how well the bearing are lubed and also may leave deposits in the combustion chamber, ideally use an oil designed for 2 stroke to minimize deposits and provide superior lubrication, in the old days we used corn oil/cooking oil or castor oil, but with higher output of new engines a higher quality oil designed for the job is recommended.
