Poulan Weedeater EZ Mix Oil Is Perfect for Your Power tools

Just when you thought that ‘My Engine Needs’ was all about fueling debates about engine oils and all kinds of 2 wheelers, we decided to
sneak one in about power tools. After all, they are the bread and brawn of every homeowner’s idea of maintaining a perfect lawn and vice versa.

Having said that, let’s get a few things out of the way. First and foremost is the confusion associated with Poulan Weedeater EZ Mix Oil. Some people think that it’s basically engine oil. Well, it’s not engine oil. On the contrary, this product is a mixer fluid that’s meant to reduce friction between moving engine parts.

As a result, the chances of metal-on-metal damage are reduced since everything is lubricated well enough to work for a long time. Now you might say that engine oil does the same job. Technically, it does and you are right about that. However, mixer fluids perform a variety of functions which a pure synthetic or non-synthetic engine oil doesn’t.

Key Features:

• Translucent bottle helps to see oil level easily.
• Formula supports fuel stabilization for extra performance.
• Doesn’t require any major mixing instructions. Poulan EZ Mix is very easy to use!
• Ideal for mixing with fuel in 2 cycle engines over a variety of different products!

How to Get the Most Value Out of Poulan Weedeater 2 Cycle EZ Mix Oil?

The key is to mix this fluid properly with oil/gas reserve in your power tool. Since we already mentioned earlier, this product is meant for 2 stroke engines, so think about power tools and general use machinery within 50CC – 80CC lineup.

In that order, the oil/gas ratio should be 40:1. That means you need to pour in 3.2 ounces of Poulan Weedeater mix oil with approx.. 1 gallon of gas/ fuel. You can increase the amount of this mixer fluid if your power tool stores more than a gallon at a time. It is simple math; nothing is too complicated to begin with.

Alternatively, you can watch a few YouTube tutorial videos about how to mix mixer fluid with your power tool oil/gas.

How to Know If You Got the Mixture Ratio Wrong?

This question is very important. We don’t see a lot of websites discussing about the repercussions of getting the mixture ratio wrong. More importantly, how would you know if you made the grave mistake in the first place?

Here’s how you do it:

1. Start your weedeater and let it run idle for a few minutes. Just give it time to warm up.
2. Now slowly press the throttle. Since the color of fluid in Poulan Weedeater EZ Mix bottle is dark, you should be seeing blue smoke
   coming out of the power tool exhaust side. If so, it means you made the mistake of adding too much mixture fluid to the gas.
3. Turn off your weed eater and empty the fuel storage tank. Start over with proper mixture ratio.

You will also notice the engine struggling too much, loss of power when the power tool is about to be turned off and oil droplets falling
from the exhaust port. These are all signs of going over the required ratio of oil to gas mixture.

By the way, don’t forget to shake the fuel container of your power tool after mixing the Poulan Weedeater 2 Cycle mix oil. This ensures that the oil and fuel have properly mixed and there is no separation between the two chemical compounds.

Other General Uses of Poulan Weedeater Ez Mix Oil:

Speaking of other uses, this mixture fluid can be used for a number of different machines. Although Poulan Co. sort of stresses on using
their oils and fluid based products for the company’s own brand of power tools, but you could use it for other brands too.

For instance, many people at Amazon have used this mixture fluid for Stihl, Bosch and Husqvarna power tools. Likewise, we also found out that a few folks used this mixture fluid for an 80cc 2-stroke motorcycle engine. What are the odds of that? You should know that there are no risks associated with using mixture oil for as long as you are confident about your machine’s engine rating and requirements.
