That is an interesting point and one that had not crossed my mind. A two stroke engine is just the opposite of the situation being discussed in this thread. With the two stroke you have a small amount of oil per gallon of fuel. With some percentage of Rangers it is a small amount of gas mixed in 1.5 gallons of oil. I know some old two stroke outboards that have had long lives but I take you point that as a general rule they don't tyically have the lifespan of a four stroke.Like I mentioned above a 2-stroke engine is the only engine that is made to run and lubricate on both gasoline and oil. But again those Motors don't live long lives, they are a motor not built for longevity.
