contain alcohol as an oxygenate.
Oxygenated gasoline may cause
increased operating temperatures.
Under certain conditions, alcohol-
based gasoline may also reduce the
lubricating qualities of some 2-cycle
mixing oils.
n Generic oils and some outboard oils
may not be intended for use in high-
performance 2-cycle type engines,
and should never be used in your
Shindaiwa engine.
