Re: which oil for my 48cc motor
I am sure you can use motor oil. 20:1. You will leave a smoke trail a mile long doing it. It is better to use a special formulated 2 stroke oil. They burn extremely clean and some of the better 2 stroke oils such as AMSoil will keep your engine clean. Check with Pablo at AMSoil. Good stuff for sure. Enjoy the ride...

You can use non-detergent 30W oil.

Not sure where you are located, but any 2 stroke oil will be better than motor oil. You could use motor oil for awhile, but why?

Motor oil was never intended to burn, you will cause excessive carbon build up. Also it won't take long before you foul your plug.

Re: which oil for my 48cc motor
Any name brand 2-stroke oil will work fine!
Just mix it right.
