General question related to 2 stroke oil. So I have 2 gallons of unopened XPS E-tec 2T, fully synthetic oil which I used in my 2001 Sea-Doo jetski, which had direct injection oil- so a separate tank for the 2-stroke oil. The jetski was scrapped due to mechanical failure and now I have the left over unopened oil. What are the thoughts of using this oil as premix in my 2000 KDX 200? I’ve heard/read the following two (2) theories after searching online:

1. No problem, use it. 2 stroke oil is 2 stroke oil
2. Direct injection (DI) oil can be used as premix, but not the other way around. The DI is often a little thinner.

Either way, sounds ok to use it, but don’t want to risk engine failure in order to save $60 on a gallon of new premix. However if ok, may as well use it. Interesting enough, the normal Klotz I use (TC-W2) is noted to be used as premix or DI. So it goes to the theory of “ok to use DI oil as premix”. Thoughts from the 2-stroke community?

Thank you in advance!
