Is Blue Marble® 2-Cycle Oil safe for

When using Blue Marble® 2-Cycle Oil for the
first time do I need to drain my oil reservoir?
Yes, we strongly recommend that you drain the vast majority of your old oil out
of your reservoirs first, making sure that you don’t get air into the lines and
loose your prime. If there’s a small amount of the older oil in the very bottom
of the reservoir as well as your injector lines it should be fine. By draining
as much of the other oil as possible, you will get the benefits that Blue
Marble® has to offer more quickly.
--
Is it okay to mix Blue Marble® 2-Cycle Oil
with other oils (synthetic or mineral)?
We don’t recommend doing this if possible, especially the first time that you
use it. If you happen to run out of Blue Marble® at some point, and you have to
use another brand of oil, it can be added to Blue Marble®; however, the benefits
from Blue Marble® will likely diminish (almost completely) with that first use
of the mixed tank.

Will Blue Marble® 2-Cycle Oil void my
warranty?
The federal law called the “Magnuson Moss Warranty Act of 1974” states that no
manufacturer can require you to use their components (oil, etc.) to maintain the
factory warranty unless they provide, at no charge during the said warranty
period, such product free of charge. Most manufacturers state that the oil you
use must meet or surpass the equivalent of some specific testing procedure
(i.e., TC-W3®, JASO, etc.). Blue Marble® High Performance 2-cycle oil meets or
exceeds the specifications of JASO FC, TC-W3®, and ISO EGD.
