Stabilizer in Oil

[Jim]

I accidently put fuel stabilizer in my oil when I winterized unit in fall.

Should I drain it or am I ok?

Thanks

I'd drain it.

the problem is that it most likely will displace oil in the injection system... meaning your now getting diluted oil in the system and risk running w/out proper lube, it's painful, burns, and she won't like it... i mean your engine .


OR... you could... since that stuff is flamable. just run pre-mix and run your oil as low as possible, then add all new fresh oil once you've run enough out.

you'd be running oil rich, but that's a hell of a lot cheaper than running oil lean!

i would just drain it. its beter/easier/cheaper than causing yourself engine problems.

Thanks, I was planning on draining it but wanted to check first.
