Oh no, the wrong oil
Hey all, since buying my rattler I've put in the full synthetic oil (two times) and yesterday in my absentmindedness I bought and put in the 570 er whatever synthetic mix. Is my scoot gonna be ok and is there anything special I can/should do? Thanks.

does oil impact MPG?
I had synthetic oil in the scoot when I bought it. I ran out after about 500 miles and looked high-n-low for synthetic oil around town. I couldn't find any so I got some Penzoil 2 stroke oil and added that to the tank. The scoot ran pretty good for a few days, then suddenly it started running a little rougher when it was cold and the MPG dropped from the upper 90's to the lower 80's.
Will normal 2-stroke oil have that impact, or is there something else going on?!
