Hey guys - Was winterizing/flushing my ski after a trip to FL today. Pumped the oil out, cranked ski over without starting to get the rest out of the oil filter casing. Added the rest of a gallon of oil from previous oil change, grabbed the next gallon and poured about 4 ounces in. Immediately noticed that it was red in color, and realized the dealer gave me a gallon of 2 stroke oil instead. I just stopped, as I have no access to parts / oil here. I'm planning to tow back to MI (3 day drive.) I will just suck all of it back out, and maybe add some more and pump out again.

Do any of you see any harm in not cranking the motor over to relube the head/cams for a couple days? I really don't want to distribute that stuff into the motor.

Thanks

I don't see an issue with not cranking it for a few days. It would be no different than it sitting between rides.

Two stroke oil is oil just the same . The engine would run happily on it with no damage. The viscosity and addative package would be wrong for what it needs to do though so it would might breakdown quickly .
