do you have to mix oil with gas ?

Yes... The first oil comes with the cultivator, 2.6 oz 2 cycle oil with 1 gallon of gasoline. After that the 2 cycle oil you buy may have a little bit different ratio. This is a commonality with all two cycle engines. 4 cycles engines take straight gasoline.

Yes this cultivator uses a mixture of gasoline with oil. A quality brand 2-cycle oil mixed with unleaded regular gas only is recommended. The mixture ratio is 50:1.

It is never a good idea to mix brands or grades or viscosities. Modern oils and particularly synthetics are highly engineered products and may have additives that don't work well together.

I was wondering if it used gas/oil mix, so I looked up the users manual on google. It clearly states; fill the crancase with oil and use only regular grade gas, not to exceed 87 octane

It's not recommend . I was told by the company to use an Ethanol treatment in the gas. This generator you do not mix oil in the gas . That means it needs oil put in it .

If I remember correctly the instructions states to always add 2cyle oil with the gas during use.

Yes, you can use any synthetic oil designed for this purpose. Never use oils from hydrocarbons.

Hi Richard: We use the Briggs & Stratton Vanguard engine. There is no mixing of gas and oil. It is a four stroke engine with low oil allert, large air filter and extra quiet exhaust. It comes with a three year warranty.

I've never added oil to mine and it works fine ( I've had of for a few months ). But since it has mechanical moving parts, I'm assuming that it must need some type of librication. My advice to you is, it's really not necessary but if you chose to do it any way...Then why not.

Yes this unit comes with both oils needed. The pump is a sealed pump so no need to add oil there. The engine oil will come in a quart in the box.

This is a 4-cycle engine, not a 2-cycle. That means no mixing oil with gas---you fill the oil pan like you do with your car. Instructions and a funnel are included. You use regular car oil--there is a chart for oil weight vs. temperatures. Cheap 10w30 is good for most purposes. I used a 5w40 synthetic oil because we are most likely to lose power in the winter, when its below freezing.
