Life of premixed oil
This arctic cat engine is my first 2 stroke besides my weed eater so I'm still learning a lot about it. Question how long can the premixed oil sit in a tank of gas before it starts to deteriorate? Thanks :) :)

I want to say it doesn't... Its made to mix and stay mixed. I have had experience with A LOT of 2-stroke engines and never had any problem with the mix seperating. If you are worried about it, shake it a little just to make sure.

I agree with Mitch on this one.
Just be weary of the gas degrading. |

2 stroke oil is made so it doesnt do that. Regular oil will.

Heck, who needs oil anyway? I'd run it without it for a little while to keep the muffler clean.

Synthetic oils will stay mixed, bean oils will separate. Why use bean oil? It smells really sweet.
