Hello I have a question about oil.

[The_Wheelerman]

Hello, I have a 1981 Honda ATC 200 that is I have learned is a 4 stroke. Will it have problems if I have done an oil change and replaced the oil with 2 stroke oil?:wondering

Yes, you will have problems. Drain it out before you run it again. Dump in 1.5 liters of cheap 10w30, run it for 5 or 10 minutes then drain that oil out to get rid of the last of the 2 stroke oil. Then go to your local Honda dealer & buy some Honda GN4, either 10w40 or 20w50 for summer and use 10w30 in the winter.

Oh yeah, forgot my manners. Welcome to the board.

Thank you. What would happen if it was not changed?

You'll devour your clutch, and chew up all your bottom end bearings, there are additives in the 2 stroke oil you don't really want or need in with your clutches
Welcome to the board, where in BC are you from?

2 stroke oil is used in the gas mixture for 2 strokes. You will destroy your engine if you run 2 stroke oil in it. Just a little heads up

[The_Wheelerman]

Thanks alot. But its not like I am meaning to put 2 stroke oil in it. I will change it right away. I am near Abbotsford. How about yourself?
