Can different premixes be mixed in one tank?
Hi guys,
I was wondering if I can mix different types of 2-strokes oils in one auxilary tank? I don't want to run the risk of running the tank to empty as it is the only way my engine is lubricated through the SOHN adapter.

Right now I'm running Klotz Benol premix and I want to switch to Protek-R or Klotz R-50 premix.

Looking forward to some input.

Thanks

Assuming both premixes meet the appropriate ash-less specifications, I don't see why not.


Happy motoring!

Shouln't really matter.
As the oil you change in your engine mixes with the oil that remains in oil coolers :-)

Are you referring to engine oil or 2-stroke? I didn't think 2-stroke oil runs thru the oil coolers via a SOHN adapter.

Crap, now I'm wondering if running Klotz Benol in my oil injection system was a good idea now... I'm getting mixed answers about caster bean oil stuff!

It don't really matter as long as the oils you are mixing are 2-stroke oils.

Its best if you don't mix them however, I dont see any harm, they are intended to do the same thing lube the seals and burn..
