Why are we comparing hedgecutters to a rotary engine ?

Re: What is the best Oil to use in a Rotary Engine?
For my rx8, I use castrol 2T scooter stuff, then when it finished, I bought comma 2 stroke oil as it was in my local car shop.
Idemitsu oils was used for the 4 rotor Le Mans car and read their Idemitsu Rotary Fuel Lube is the best to use. I haven't tried it yet though.
