Do you guys use your marine grade oil in your weedeater trimmers/blowers also?Is the viscosity different and will the marine oil harm the lawn equipment?My weedeater uses a 32:1 mix.Boat uses 50:1.

If i have nothing else around.<br />Normally the cheap stuff is good enough for my less than favorite pass times.

Marine (TCW-3) will NOT provide adequate lube for your air cooled engines. Conversely, oil for air cooled engines will carbon/ash up a water cooled engine quickly. Use the proper oil for the application.

Go to the "Nothing To Do With Boats Forum" an read the thread titled "2 stroke mix how versatile is it." Lots of information in there and should answer any questions you have.
