    What engine are you running and has someone told you've been using the wrong oil. Even if you go to XD50 it is still recommended to use a de-carb agent.

    You can pour the XD-50 oil right in on top of the XD-30. It won't cause any problem at all.

    Some say you don't need to with XD100 (100% synthetic) but it is still recommended with the XD50.
