Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): used the wrong oil, crankcase oil, last tank

Question
I put 2 cycle oil in my Kohler 4 cycle engine by mistake. Will this hurt the engine?

Answer
Hello Galen:

>>If you Added this Oil to the Crankcase Oil, then
>>Change the Oil ASAP. It will cause Internal Engine Damage as it thins the Regular Crankcase Oil too much.
>>If you Added this Oil to the Gas, then
>>No Worries. The Engine will Smoke until the 2 cycle Mixture is No Longer in the Gas Tank and it might Foul the Plug, but No Other Damage is Likely to Occur. I Use 2 cycle gas in my Equipment as a Last of the Season (last tank of the Season) Gas before Storage to Coat and Protect the Internal Carburetor Parts while the Equipment sets for the Off Season.
