I found some reasonably cheap 'castrol actevo 2t' 2 stroke oil in tesco - £3 per litre

Its supposed to be for bikes/scooters but as its 2 stoke oil can I use it to mix in with petrol in my petrol strimmer instead ? (which needs 2 stroke oil)

Ive read that people have used cooking oil in 2 stroke engines so Im hoping there should be no issue using this
