Default Mineral oil for 2 stroke mix

I was just reading in my manual that you can use Mineral oil as 2 stroke gas mix at 32:1. Did I read that right? Has anyone tried it?

Does that mean you can take baby oil and mix it? That would be a cost savings if you could or it could really cost you a lot in the long run

Probably something that got messed up in the translation from Spanish to Spanglish, I wouldnt risk running mineral oil in the fuel, they probably meant non-synthetic premix oil is ok, not actual mineral oil.

They were actually designed to run mineral oil. But, no one that I know have been daring enough to run baby oil. Gotta wonder what the exhaust smells like?

I took it to mean that if you were running non synthetic then they want yoiu to run the standard 32;1
