Correct answer
With engine oil in a lubrication system separate from the fuel.
It requires engine oil in a lubrication system separate from the fuel. Do not add oil to the petrol as if preparing premix for a two-stroke engine. Oil reduces friction and wear and helps remove heat. Check the level and use the oil and service intervals specified by the manufacturer; running without lubrication can severely damage the engine.
