"The" 2 Stroke Oil Thread

[DB Admin]

So To Run 2 Stroke or not reasons why and why not ? :pc: DM

[Uncle Bubba]

I'll go first. I think 2 stroke is a great idea and did improve mileage to a small extent. HOWEVER, I did find a downside to it. I started having fuel leaks all over the place. Both in my replacement high pressure fittings and the only stock fitting I had left on the truck. It losend all of em up better then any penetrating oil could have. Just something to watch out for if you use it.

use it in the 24v and the 12v don't know if mileage went up with the 12v cuz I've run 2-stroke from day one with it...get 19-20mpg real easy. The 24 valve went up as well...quieted it down some. works for me...

i run it in my 01. i run the walmart supertech stuff.i noticed no gain in MPG but i did notice the engine does not knock and ping like a gasser on cheap gas and i did gain some power back

[bway1341]

I run it every tank and noticed mpg increse

[guroo987]

noticed a little mileage gain, nothin great, but it was there. truck is a lot quieter and i have the piece of mind knowing that my vp44 is getting lubricated!! also lubricating my holley at the same time. no reason not to run it, my .02

I've been running it for the past 1 1/2 years, in my 02, and now my 06. Here is what I've noticed. Smoother idle, less clatter/rattle (02) and improved fuel mileage! My main and only reason for running it is because of this new ULSD fuel and the lack of sulfur. I want the lubriticity it ads back into the fuel. Plus I get a little added smoke!

Never have run it, never really thought about running it. my problem is I never fill my tank up, unless I am towing my jeep a long distance. I usually put in about 40 bucks per stop, because my wallet can't take $100 at a time to fill up.

Oh dang... The topic I love to argue on...

Well I got to admit I'm still using 2 cycle oil and I've seen awesome improvements. Quietier engine less knocking, improvement in fuel mileage, and I know every bit of my fuel system is lubricated.

Now as far quantity of oil to use. It simple to figure out. I've been using 1 oz for every 1 gallon of fuel. Or if you fill up from near empty then dump in a full quart (32 ounces).

As for my past discussions of this... I've had made of page full of information on the 2 cycle oil and other products. Never the less I did
finally **** off a company. Believe it or not I pissed off PowerService. So I hit a nerve with that one and ended up pulling my web page.

But my 2 cycle oil research still continues. I will be soon building a new personal web page with all new updated information.

you got under ps's skin? What did they say?:pc:

[Kick Start]

that seems like an awful lot of 2 cycle to be dumping in every tank?

I guess ur the expert though

[En4cr]

Has anyone run it in a Powerstroke? I would be curious to see. Most of the posts seem top be from the Cummins guys.

I started running 2 stroke oil in my 92' yesterday. Seems to be doing the job. I think the right thinking is there in running 2 stroke. Gonna try it in my 04.5' when i fill it up next.

1oz for ever gal that’s nuts with what 2SO cost it would be cheaper to replace the fuel system when it goes bad. I don't use it wasn't made for diesels and it has some affects not always good on the balance rates on Dmaxs.

[GBWELDING]

1 quart to every tank full, the walmart stuff costs me about 8 bucks a gallon, so that adds about $2.00 to each fill up. At an average of 16 miles per gallon(low average on my 02) on my 35 gallon tank I can go about 560 miles, that figures out to about .0035 cents per mile added cost or about .057 cents per gallon on a total fill up. Cheap insurance for the old VP, Hell I'd pay double that just to quiet the injectors down. Just my .02, Been running it since 04.
