I am worried that the two stroke oil may not provide the same quality of lubrication to the bearings that regular engine oil does. So I will be changing the oil probably every 50 hrs or so. BTW, the oil still looks very clean except for the green from the 2-stroke oil. Much better than my car oil looks after 50 hrs. N4VY is still down for the broken oil cooler, which arrived today.
