For those of you that continue to mix additives together now you better take a look...



After mixing 2 cycle oil and PS together you'll notice that you now reduced the lubricity of the 2 cycle oil... Also take notice that most combinations here failed (RED)... The yellow is 520 or less and green is 460 or less...

Always mix with a LOWER HFRR score...

The original numbers were generated on another site, but I don't remember there being an additional one being done on additive "combinations"??

Those number in the table are done on averages...

Since we all know a true oil should be able to hit the 0 mark on HFRR by itself. But some of the other additives are not improving the mixture. So there is no way to add these together (stacking).

The only way to truely get correct number is to test every additive solely by itsself and get a raw HFRR number. This would be the MINMUM HFRR NUMBER that each product could hit.

Like for example MMO. The test fuel start at 636 HFRR and MMO was added to the fuel and it was increased 42 points. But now done with 2 cycle oil you decreased the HFRR 162 points... So there is no way of truely adding number together...

So to get a SAFE number that is calculated from the results of the HFRR number I did a average which is very safe!
