Abstract

A biodegradable two-cycle engine oil composition comprises about (a) 20 to 85 wt. % of a heavy ester or a mixture of heavy ester oils characterized by a kinematic viscosity of at least about 7.0 cSt at 100.degree. C., (b) 10 to 85 wt. % of a light ester oil or a mixture of light ester oils characterized by a kinematic viscosity of less than about 6.0 cSt at 100.degree. C., and optionally an additive, wherein the composition has a biodegradability of at least about 66% as measured by the CEC L-33-T-82 method.
