theres tests out there that show power service doesnt lubricate very well compared to two stroke

That doesn't surprise me much. Thats why I don't put much faith in over the counter fix all's. On my 6.2 I have even filtered used motor oil and ran in it burns it up just fine. I have also filed the filters with atf when I change them. The biggest thing I have found to make the injection system last is to make sure the lift pump is working and don't run them out of fuel.

imho the only thing power service is good for is to prevent gelling in the winter

some say 2 stroke makes it smoke more some say it cleans up the burn, kinda hard to tell with the two very differing opinions

It shouldn't smoke unless you dump a whole lot of it in the tank.

Out of curiousity, how did you come up with that ratio and have you noticed benefits to that amount?
