Dog hair?? I've got a Golden Retriever that sheds that stuff by the bucketload. I could collect a couple of handfuls and wiz it up in the food processor with some petrol, or I could use this, Shell Advance SX2 at £5.83 a litre. I think I'll stick with the Shell stuff. Interesting read about the dog hair though. If they could make a synthetic version of that and sort the crank lubrication the old 2 stroke could make a return perhaps.

I used the same stuff in my H1F. A good two stroke oil is far less expensive than a cheap rebuild
