I use older lawnboys and never have to check the oil. Just mix, fill, and go. Every once in awhile I drop the float bowl to drain any water out that may have accumulated. Takes all of 5 minutes.

So much nicer, plus it makes power every 2 strokes instead of every 4, has fewer moving parts, and has less maintenance. I use the same 40:1 mix in my lawnmower, weed eater, leaf blower, and whats left over at the end of the year goes in my truck.

i always check the oil in 4 STROKE small engines every time i start them. i did not think i would really have to clarify that. the echo trimmer is 2 stroke and thus just requires the correct mix.
i am not sure if many 27hp 2 strokes are built any more.
