Recently, legislation on the reduction of emissions from motor vehicles has led to intensive studies in this area. In these studies, it is observed that the research and use of alternative fuels, which are less polluting than petroleum-derived fuels, is emphasized. Especially in the field of lubrication, the alternatives to oils are being studied rapidly and the number of publications is increasing. In general, four-stroke engines are more focused on these studies while they are being carried out and studies about them in general are being carried out. What distinguishes this work from the others is that it covers two-stroke engines. Furthermore, the effect of the use of these oils on Wear has also been studied. In this study, motor oil and various vegetable oils were added to the gasoline by 5% and 10% volumetric (v/v), and the effects of these additives on fuel consumption and exhaust emissions were investigated experimentally. In addition, the amount of wear on the compression ring was determined in long-term 50-hour and 100-hour operation situations. As a result of the study, there was an increase in fuel consumption, is, HC, CO emissions and a decrease in NOX and CO2 emissions by using vegetable oil compared to petroleum-derived mineral oil. Vegetable oils have been shown to cause more wear on the compression ring than mineral oil.
