I have a few unopened 2 cycle oil cans which are about 10 years old.

Can I still use them on my Solo ?

Dan,
I was in the lube oil business for 30 years and I would recommend that you buy some new 2 cycle oil. The oil in those cans may still be OK, but you never know if for example, additives have dropped out of solution. I would never take the risk in a Solo (or in anything else that "flies").
