What Is Two Stoke Oil ?

As all of you know , two stoke engine need lubrication both in the intake and gearbox . The lubricator used to lubricate the piston mainly known as 2T-oil . Two stroke engine produce twice power or quicker than a four stroke engine . When the engine is running , the engine needs 2T-oil between the piston and the cylinder block . It also reduce high temp produce by the engine due to the high RPM .

How to put the 2T-oil to the piston and where do you store it ? Here's how . Two stroke bike have a 2T-oil reservoir mounted to the bike chassis . Usually it's located below the seat for easy refilling . Some bike have electronic pump that pumps the 2T-oil to the carburetor according to the engine RPM . I wish I have those . Unfortunately , my bike uses mechanical pump that's pumps the 2T-oil according to the throttle position . Well , at least I don't have to 'premix' it in the tank like older bike . Some older bike have to mix the 2T-oil into the tank according to the mixture ratio .

Okay , cut the crap . The pump pumps up the 2T-oil into the carburetor and mix with the petrol according to certain ratio . I don't know my bike fuel mixture coz I just sent to a repair shop . Those mixture now enter the combustion chamber and ready for the compression stroke . Some 2T-oil will not burned with the petrol and exit through the exhaust port / exhaust valve ( like my bike ) . That excessive 2T-oil stay in the exhaust and turned into carbon . Later -on you have to clean up the exhaust so the engine will not lost it power .
