I know I should have 2 cycle engine in oil tank under seat, but was reading in the manuel about using 10w-30 in the crankcase? My 87 spree has been sitting for about 15 years. Already cleaned tthe gas tank & carb, put a new plug, but would like to change all the fluids. Could you let me know how, and if there is more than one oil used in my spree.
Thanks.

The 10-40 is for the gearbox in the rear end, 2 stroke injector oil is for the 2 stroke engine.

Exactly, the 4 stroke oil was probably holding the motor together.
