Its ok it lubes the pumps, you can get away with one qt to a full tank. I use to run used motor oil but it started clogging my filter. But your good go for it! The 7.3l eats anything, tranny fluid. You wont notice a performance diff.

it will maybe run better and get a "LITTLE" better fuel MPG. it all depends on the pickup and the quality off fuel you have in it.

Powerstroke does not "eat" anything and unless you like buying injectors you should be very careful with what you put in...

Some two stroke is not going to help or hurt anything, but be careful with tranny fluid and oil.

There is a huge thread about 2-stroke oil in the alternative fuel, additives and fluid section.

2- stroke oil burns better than Diesel. Adding it will not harm your engine at all. But it decreases wear.
But have in mind it can't repair or undo any damage that happened already at a mileage 193000 miles.

2 stroke will not help or hurt anything. Its not worth the cost.

I run Diesel Fuel in my Diesel truck. I have never had a fuel related issue in over a million miles on these trucks running what is suposed to be in the tank...
