2 cycle oil

[greystone]

I had some left over snow blower gas to get rid of. So I put it in my car. I have heard the benefits of running a little TC oil in as a fuel additive and figured this would be the best way to dispose of it.

I then realized it is not TCW3 rated!!! It does say low ash on the bottle though.

I figured it out and it calculates to about 750:1. Will I notice any problems?

You will notice no difference from a one-time 750:1 mix of 2 cycle oil.

You should have no concern at all. The ratio is small.
Plus their is no better way to dispose of it anyway.

No big deal engines are designed to accept oil in the intake thru the PCV inlet up to .1qt/100 miles. This works out to about a 1/2 qt consumed in a tank and 1/2 of fuel; 0.8>1% ash crankcase oil at ~250/1 ratio ingested thru the PCV in normal operation.

Nah. I get rid of old TC (not TC-W3) mix that way, also. I messed up on the math, one time, and went as high as 355:1 in my Olds 88. Surprisingly, it ran without problems.

If you want to use 2-cycle oil in your automotive gas regularly, go with TC-W3.
