I think I put the wrong oil in, will this hurt?
I bought a quart of citgo air cooled 2-stroke oil and added it to my spree. After I had dumped it in I realized that it might not be for oil injected motors. My question is, is it alright if I run this oil in my spree or should I drain it out?
I have no problem draining it out except that I dont want to have to bleed the pump. If I should drain it what is the best way?
Thanks in advance for your time, I appreciate it!!!

Various brands of 2-stroke oil seem to have different viscocities (Thicknesses). And while they all blend with gas and do their job once they are mixed with gas and delivered to the motor internally, I wonder if the thicker oils will be pumped and pulled into the gas as readily as the injector specified products. The injector oil does seem a little thinner than my Husky chain saw oil. Just food for thought. I'm pretty much a tight wad, but I don't think I would take a chance on this.
CITGO 2T ENGINE OIL IS A NMNA MARINE TC-W3 2-CYCLE ENGINE OIL, WHETHER THE LABEL SAYS SO OR NOT. THE OIL IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT AND IS PERFECT FOR USE IN OIL INJECTOR SYSTEMS. IT IS ACTUALLY THE PREFERRED PRODUCT FOR THESE BIKES - BURNS CLEANLY, GOOD BEARING PROTECTION, PUMPS READILY, MIXES READILY, ETC.
Dude, enough with the all-caps.
I don't know anything about the oil you're talking about. Marine oil I typically find is meant for premix, and shouldn't be used. If you've found a marine injector oil that works, great. I haven't been able to find it at the places I typically look.
