What happens if you put premium 2-cycle oil in your car?
I have a 1993 Honda civic and I was changing my oil and I grabbed the wrong oil and I put 2-cycle oil in my car. Will it be ok? If not, what should I do?!
You did the whole oil change that way?
Change the oil again. You could probably get away with not changing the filter (if it's new).
2-cycle oil isn't designed to lubricate for thousands of miles. It doesn't have any detergent additives, and won't properly suspend the contaminants like a proper automotive oil would.
No, it's the wrong oil, drain it out and start again with the correct oil, and fit a new oil filter too. Usually two stroke oil containers have pictures of things like motorbikes, lawnmowers and chainsaws on them which should make it fairly obvious that it was the wrong oil if yours was labelled this way.
NO drain it and start again
Change it again, buckwheat. This is almost as strange as hooking up jumper cables backwards.

- What happens if you don't get approved for a car loan after your purchase? I have bought a car two weeks ago and at the time we applied for 20k $ car loan, we deposited 8k and I was planning to deposit another 4k next week. Now we have received the letter( third party) that we're not approved for the car loan. Does that mean I have to return the car? If so why the Honda company (where we bought the car) didn't tell us anything before we receive the letter? What options do I have?
- Do you need someone to start your car when you go on vacation (winter)? One of my roommates is going on vacation for a week and has asked me to start up their car and let it run for 10 minutes every day. I think they are worried about their battery? It is winter, 30 degrees F, some snow on the ground. It is a regular 2015 Honda sedan. I've never heard of this and tried to find some articles but am not finding clear answers. Is this necessary or beneficial to the car?
- What happens if you put motor oil in your car what will happen? I put an 1/8 of a gallon of a mixture of gas and oil into the gas tank of my 2008 Honda Civic and drove about 3 miles to a gas station. When I got to the gas station I only filled up with about another 2 gallons and then drove home. The car drove fine and I noticed no difference. How bad is this for my engine? If I drained my gas tank right now and filled it with gas would it be fine?
