2 cycle oil

[choffman41]

I found a couple quarts of Chevron 2 cycle outboard oil (TC-W3), API service T-C, T-D in my shed. I don't know how old the stuff is, and am wondering if it is OK for my 40:1 saws and is it good for mixing 40:1 in my old 16: saw? All suggestions welcome. Thanks...

NO!

TCW is for 2 cycle water cooled engines - it will foul air cooled 2 cycle engines.

Dang!! Grandpa always said "ask twice, mix once". Now I see why. Thanks for setting me straight.

Look on the bright side - now you have a reason to buy a boat!

Don't put it in your fuel - If you have to use it, mix it in with your bar oil!
