I have a Yahama PW80 (2001). The manual calls for 1 qt. Yamalube 2-S or air-cooled 2-stroke engine oil. Can't get the Yamaha oil. Will any 2-cycle engine oil work? I think the oil is supposed to mix automatically with the gas. stroke vs. cycle ?

2 stroke = 2 cycle. Two names for the same thing.

Any NAPA or Carquest will have two stroke oil. Do not use car engine oil! The best source of two cycle oil is the dealer of the dirt bike as they will be able to tell you what fuel to oil ratio to mix. If you read your second answer I hope you know enough not to use his mixture radio. There's never on the face of the earth been a two cycle engine that ran on a 2-1 gas to oil mix.

Any two cycle or two stroke (same) oil will work, but you probably shouldn't mix synthetic oil with petroleum oils. Use one or the other. I THINK Yamalube is petro-oil.

2 cycle oil you mix with the gas, and 4 stroke oil you put in the crankcase. i hope this helps.

Just buy the premix so you don't mess the mixture up. If you mix it wrong you can have problems.
