An easy way to determine if you have a 2-cycle (2-stroke) engine or a 4-cycle (4-stroke) engine is by identifying the number of fuel tanks and/or oil sump fill ports on your equipment. A 2-cycle engine will have one fill port and a 4-cycle engine will have two fill ports. On the fill cap of a 2-cycle engine fuel port, you should see a fuel pump and oil can icon as well as the oil to fuel mix ratio stated. Common gasoline and oil mix ratios are 50:1 and 40:1. Meaning there is 50/40 parts gasoline to one part oil when mixed. The lower the mix ratio number the more oil per volume in the gasoline. To mix properly add oil to your gas can, then add fresh gasoline from the pump. Always agitate the fuel mix before adding it to your engine’s fuel tank.

To lessen emissions and prevent fuel system gumming choose a low smoke oil that contains fuel stabilizer. The oil should also be an easy mix and ashless formula to prevent carbon deposits within the exhaust system like Briggs & Stratton 2-Cycle Oil.
