Can you use gas that has 4 cycle engine oil in a 2 cycle engine?

This question is a bit weird, as 4-stroke engines don't need oil in the fuel. Many 2-stroke engines however do need oil in their fuel, and it should preferably be a special 2-stroke oil. That oil dissolves better and burns cleaner. If you don't have 2-stroke oil the stock recommendation is to use engine oil, but at a higher concentration - say the double. This is to be seen as an emergency measure though, and the engine won't run as well.
May I interupt Dabac? Maybe our enquirer has got it backwards and wants to burn some left over two stroke fuel in his four stroke car. If so, it will be quite safe in a once off or an emergency. do not, however, make a habit it or your sparkplugs,valves and exhaust system will suffer.
I have a straight forward answer to the question that was asked. NO! Use only 2 cycle oil in a 2 cycle engine. It is foolish to use anything else and there is no good reason to do so.

How do you mix 2 cycle engine oil?
Look on the oil container and the engine that you want to use it in. The engine will tell you what ratio to mix the oil and gas at. The container of oil will tell you what amount of gas should be mixed with it. I have found that the best way is to put the oil into an approved gas can and then add the gas to it. This helps to mix the oil better.
