I looked on the bottles, and this is TC-W II. Now, I go googling, and come up with the terms two cycle and two stroke. To my understanding, they are the same, using a firing system that has no valves, and the oil/gas mixture goes on both sides of the piston, versus the four stroke where the crankcase oil is isolated from the combustion chamber, has a valve train, and it is called a four stroke. Never heard one referred to as a four cycle motor. Can someone give me the short answer on if this TC-WII Johnson oil is good to use in my '89 Merc 4 cyl TWO STROKE motor? Is there a discernable difference between TC-WII and TC-W3 oil? I've run a lot of oil and a lot of gas in a lot of engines. Only burned up one chain saw, and that was when I had too much beer and used straight gas in it. OOps. Other than that, I have never had a problem, and have to say I probably ran stuff a lot oilier than I should have, but that's better than the chain saw episode. Does this difference in oils really make a difference other than to anal personalities? What is the difference between type 2 and type 3 oil? Steve I made suggestions to you about this earlier. The differences in two stroke oil types are significant. -- Appearing via Thunderbird on an iMac 3.06 or a Macbook Pro 2.4, running Mac OS 10.56, *or* Microsoft VISTA through BootCamp.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Horse****. The only difference between 2 and 3 is that 3 has a tad bit more anti-carbon agent in it. Now, I know you will start your idiotic and childish name calling, so let's cut to the chase. Show me the "significant" differences. --------------------------- He can use either oil if his outboard is of an 80's vintage. *The Type III oil is backwards compatible for engines that originally called for Type II.
