did a little bit of an oil top up yesterday as i haven't even looked at it in the fortnight and 3 uses i've had so far  . . . .  doesn't have a dipstick, apart from the one using it  

so  . . . .  couldn't really tell if it needed topping up, read n reread the oil change bit on the papers i'd printed off courtesy of rich, decided to go for - fill it up n see what happens approach  . . . . tipped a bit out cos it was a bit full lol.

now i know its not a rocket or a high performance car but is that ok how i've filled it???

also  . . . i had to use 15/40 car oil as i didn't have owt finer but figured it'd get a bit diluted off what was left in it  . . .  could i use two stroke oil in it???

sorry there's a few questions there but it ran fine n just wanted to double to  check with the more  familiar Rotavator users

dont put 2 stroke oil in it 15/40 should be ok but i use halfords clasic car oil which is the spec for my engine 20/50, if yours dont have a dip stick just fill to the base of the screw threads of the filler plug hole
