Default yes, 1 more "new guy" question

My question consernd after run oil. I was wondering if I could use straight 2-stroke oil I hve a bunch ot motorex(ktm) oil and just at a glance they look the same,but I don't want to mess up a new engine. My team orion wasp.26 seems like its gonna be awsome and I want to keep it that way. Does anyone know anything about this engine?

After run oil and 2 stroke oil are completely different. Don't ruin your engine by being cheap, buy dedicated after run oil.

The main reason why you cant use 2 stroke oil is because it doesnt blend with methanol. It will float just like mixing water and oil. Guys that run there banshee's on methanol have to use, Klotz Supertechniplate, Klotz Benol Caster oil, or Maxima 927. Most 2 stroke oils are petrolium base and do not blend with methanol.

Since your engine is a picco .26 under a different brand name, this thread should be helpful.
