  • yup its ok...i use it in me fizzy ''chicken''

  • RE: How to mix 2 stroke fuel.2 stroke oil with unleaded petrol.? I have bought a second hand spear and jackson petrol hedge trimmer. I am using makita DOLMAR 2 stroke oil in a 100ml container. How much fuel mix does this oil make....ei: how many mililitres for one gallon or 5 litres of unleaded fuel.

  • All Jap bikes have run on unleaded since the very early 70's, may even be late 60's for some.

  • Some people might tell you that old two strokes need lead for piston and ring lubrication, but that's just an old wives tale. It will probably run cleaner on unleaded.

  • can not see why not its a two stroke so no valves to burn out that was the main problem with unleaded just use a good two stroke oil , + jap bikes were designed to run on crap petrol

  • I know jap bikes don't run well on diesel ;-) I think I should buy a petrol car so I don't get into bad habits. I'm after an old LC myself :D

  • Absolutely fine to do so,i have used it in my suzuki ap50s,1976/1977 for a number of years now.most japanese engines are designed to run on low lead fuel.

  • all jap bikes wiil run on unleaded . even old ones !

  • any petrol will do
