Nothing against any of the site sponsors but with the dollars are near PAR it costs an absolute mint to bring stuff across the boarder. It is easier to purchase locally in my case.

This is one of the big reasons why I got out of the performance biz.

Ok, so I may be slightly(extremely) uneducated on the matter but what is the purpose of the 2 stroke oil?

It is used to lubricate the fuel in your 2-stroke gas engine. That's what it is designed for, and that's its purpose.

Still doesn't answer my question, I know what the real purpose of 2 cycle is but why would you put it in your diesel?

Its supposed to lubricate your VP-44 since the lack of Sulfur content in the New Diesel. Diesel/Sulfur lubes your Injection Pump.
