No issues here, been using it for at least 25k. Seems to help mpg's slightly.

I'm up to 70K miles (4 years) of 2 cycle oil in my 2002 Dodge fuel mileage is up to 21-22 on average and topped out at 25.3 MPG's. My Vp44 has 108K miles and still going strong.

So as for 2 cycle oil be a cause of problems highly doubtful...

I have just got a 6.5l td and am thinking of running the 2 stroke over the acertane booster that I have put in the first tank. I have not read this entire thread yet, but am curious if I should run the 2 stroke instead of the other stuff or run them together. And does it help on the older model engines? I have noticed a lot of cummins engines talking on this thread, but none on the chevy's. I am wondering if I added both would I get the benefits of the lubrication and the anti-gel, etc., stuff from the commercial brands if I ran them together. But what would the mixture rate of each be then? Stupid questions from a new diesel owner. Sorry for my ignorance, but I have to ask before I add. Thanks.

Jim
