If the engine loses its oil, then the internal engine parts are not lubricated and will therefore expand because of increased friction (generates heat). This will cause the engine to seize.

Look on the oil container and the engine that you want to use it in. The engine will tell you what ratio to mix the oil and gas at.

This helps to mix the oil better.
