As far as I'm aware of, most string trimmers, saws, blowers, etc.
require TCW-3 oil. I've never used anything else either... what oil are
you talking about? The pre-diluted brand-specific (Homelite, Poulan,
etc) tiny little doses?

I run all my 2 stroke lawn/garden equipment on TCW-3 mixed at 32:1 for
longevity... had to free up the rings on my Homelite trimmer once in 12
years, it still runs as new...

While I'm not claiming it makes a *meaningful* difference, there is
supposedly a difference between the oils made for 2 stroke watercooled (e.g.
outboard) and 2 stroke air cooled (e.g. weedwhacker, chainsaw). The air
cooled engine, I've been told, runs hotter than the water cooled engine,
therefore different requirements for the oil. That said, I generally run my
outboard engine oil in the weed whacker.
