If its a 2T then 2T oil in the oil tank or premix . A 4T uses 10w40 in the engines crank case . You may have gotten a generic manual as my 2T came with manual for a 4T .
For 2T oil I use Motul 710 with ester a full synthetic . I used Maxima synthetic blend to break in as its not as slick as the other so that the rings grind smooth .
If it has an oil tank like most 2Ts do DO NOT LET IT GET EMPTY OF 2T OIL !!!

Drain it and any premium synthetic 2T oil . Clean the sparkplug as motor oil is designed to be in the crankcase not inside where combustion takes place

IT WOULD REALLY HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFF BETWEEN A 2 STROKE AND A 4 STROKE NOT TRYING TO BE SMART WITH YA BUT THE BIGGEST DIFF IS THE WAY COMBUSTION TAKES PLACE

The major difference between 2 stroke gas mix oil and the 4 stroke crankcase oil is the 2stroke oil has a lower ash content which means it will not all turn to a gas ( a vapor, not gas as in Gasoline) when burned but will instead leave behind some solid deposits called ash. |
