Hey I'm new here. But I have a question? I drive an 2000 qc sb but a cowoker drives an 08 6.7 qc. my question is from him. Can you run 2 stroke oil in your tank so that it doesn't gel up or does it help with the injectors? Any benefit at all? Or is this just a stupid question. I know i can use it in my truck w/ the vp44.

 

It's to help lubricate the injectors and the CP3.

 

what mix ratio? and how much?

 

I run an 1.5oz per gal. But he might want to run a 1/2oz per gal on account of the DPF.

What brand/ spec is recommend? Dino? Synthetic? I would like to make sure to use the best as a periodic treatment

 

Ashless TCW-3 From Wal Mart is what we use this side of the pond. Not sure what they have in Europe, but as long as it's ashless 2-stroke oil. That's the most important part. If it's not ashless it can plug things up with the extra soot it will create.

 

Ah, ok. I guess I can get TCW-3 ashless 2-stroke oils here.
I really would like to give it a try. Thanks for the good input. I'm a little worried about it because of our strict emission tests over here.

 

You will pass emissions tests with it, it's undetectable!!

I read a bunch about guys testing it in Europe with VW TDI's and Mercedes Benz CDI's, and they pass all of their smog tests. In fact I think in some cases soot levels actually went down with 2-stroke oil. I'll have to dig up the link for you!



Start with a 1:200 ratio at first. (500mL/100L of fuel or 250ml/50L)

 

So it is ok to run 2 stroke in dpf equiped trucks? i was under the impression it would be bad for those trucks,.
