2 stroke oil in engine

Engine No.9

My ex just rang me saying she had to put oil in the car coz it was running low. She went into the local petrol forecourt and chose the first oil she could see, which, seemingly was the only oil they had. So I asked her, what kind of oil was it!? She read the label to me. It was 2 stroke oil. Now thankfully, she hasn't emptied the bottle into the engine, only about 400mls or so. She said she knew that something wasn't right when she started pouring and the colour of the oil was pinkish. First red flag, right!?

So, what should she get done now to make sure that this stuff doesn't damage the engine? I should probably say that the head gasket went on this last year and it was fully reconditioned at the time. Will it make any difference?

What car is it?
Most vehicles won't be harmed by two stroke oil, it is a lubricant designed to work inside the combustion chamber.
400ml isn't really worth freaking out over though.
Next service it will be gone or maybe before if its burning a lot of oil.:pac:

It's not the end of the world and won't kill the car.
What car is it btw? New/old?

But you should arrange for an immediate oil change at a close garage to drain old oil and fill with proper stuff.
