oi type?

[birdhunters]

Ok thanks, can I just use regular two cycle oil to mix with the fuel in the TD20, or do I need to get a special marine 2 cycle oil for it?

Marine applications usually require TCW-3 (or TCW-III) depending on how artistic they feel. Look for NMMA approval and TCW-3 for marine use and you won't go wrong.<br /><br />Bob

Use a good quality TCW-3 rated oil only.

Agree.<br /><br />Running conditions differ very much between a 2-stroke on-land lawnmower/cart/chainsaw etc. and a marine motor.<br /><br />Alone the working temperature at sea (with plenty of cooling water) and the often long periods of running at rather constant rpm calls for another lube.<br /><br />So, marine oil for marine applications - that's the way to go.

Hello.<br />The "W" in TCW-3 stands for water cooled,as opposed to air cooled.<br />Outboard engines are water cooled and therefore use a "W" type 2 cycle oil.
