Hey everyone!
I have herd of people running 2 stroke oil in the diesels, is it worth doing? What are some of the benefits and what are some of the problems caused by adding 2 stroke oil. Also what type of 2 stroke oil do you use and what amount do you add?

 

bunch of people use it and claim good benefits, others say it does nothing for them. as far as i can tell it wont do any harm.

it is supposed to help with the lubrication of the injection pump and injectors. after the switch to ULSD many say the lack of sulfur in the diesel is wearing down the pumps and injectors faster.

use the cheapest you can find. walmart has it for cheap. as to the ratio thats still up in the air. i would say 4-6 oz per tank might do it

 

Some people say yes others say no. I personally use it about 1/2 quart every fill up. The Benefit is putting Lubrication back in the Ultra Low Sulfur fuel. witch in turn Protects your VP pump. any kind of 2 Stroke oil will work.

 

There is lots of controversy over 2stroke oil in fuel. If you do a search on this site you will find a lot of information.

 

okay thanks for the help guys. I guess i will have to give it a try and see what happens since it cant really hurt anything.

 

I will tell you for a FACT that I did DB testing on my engine from a COLD start using a Android DB meter! My truck was significantly LOUDER when i did NOT use 2 stroke oil! At the cheap price of TCw3 at walmart its worth it! I use 16oz to 24oz per fillup

 

Ya I use the TW3 2stroke outboard motor oil

 

Okay, i don't have a walmart near me but any 2 stroke oil will work?

 

Make sure it doesn't have any ash in it.

 

okay so ash less oil is what should be used?
thanks for the help guys
