These fuels are a blend of oil and gasoline that operate and lubricate 2-cycle engines. These fuels protect small engines that don't have oil reservoirs that would keep the engine lubricated. They are used in chainsaws, landscaping equipment like trimmers, and snowblowers.

4-cycle fuels are a blend of low-ethanol gasoline, specialized lubricants, and other additives like detergents and stabilizers to clean and lubricate engines while running. These fuels help promote fuel economy and prevent carbon buildup during operation. They are used in large lawnmowers, generators, pressure washers, and some small vehicles.
