10/4 on 2 strokes

I remember back in 70s someone said the lead in the gas was only thing lubing the rod rollers. That may have been BS but enough oil is more important than pedigree of it. My Senior Mechanic back then thought my Guzzi's 20/50 was thick while he used straight 10 in his 455 Pontiac but they served in different environments. The metal parts are happy w whatever molecules keep them apart.
