Two stroke oil is designed to be burnt and is extremely thin when warmed.
It does not have any of the additives that 4 stroke crank oil needs for
bearings and longevity.  I would consider it to be dumb and it is definitely
myth on improving operations.  You want thin change to a light synth and get
the needed additives to keep the engine running on good oil longer.
