I will admit I have run 2 stroke oil in my powerstroke will never do it again. It is a redneck Idea. I don't se a use for it now. It is your trucks. you figure it out.

2 cycle oil is better than:

1) Stanadyne
2) Amsoil additive
3) PowerService
4) Howes
5) Lucas
6) Milligan
7) FPPF
8) Marvel Mystery Oil (which BTW lowered the lubricity of baseline fuel)

2 stroke oil works, fact not fiction.

No you cannot - or any newer diesel for that matter

My 12V loves it though

well I believe there's an article done by some European dude that states 2 stroke oil helps out the emissions system and makes it run better and such, I have no idea if anything he said was true or proven, but he was saying it helped, so I'll see if i can find that article so it doesn't sound like i'm just making stuff up

For some reason it came with a site that sold knives, and silicone grease. You might want to email it to me Dr. Evil.rand new Apple laptop and Network system I am finding out there are allot of sites that are not Mac friendly. I will not say use it nor dis courage it. I do know Stanadyne and Marvel. This is my opinion. as with everything else in this thread. Marvel has been the one that got me out of some bad fuel issues. So I will continue to use it. Like I said before I used 2 stroke oil for a time at least 3000k miles or more (in a powerstroke no doubt). I did not experience any change in the way the power-plant responded to it. nor did the fuel economy change. I do experience a difference with Marvel. But this is my truck and my experience. 12v might respond differently. Thanks Dr. Evil

I dont see anything wrong with a healthy argument amongst a group. It keeps the trend and the knowledge. Hearing another opinion or experience never was a bad thing. But if your gonna call someone out on proof, at lest provide the proof that what your saying is true.

As for me, i am just here to learn some stuff and better my knowledge, but running 2 stroke in some engines makes sense. I can see where it would improve lubrication on the injectors, and injection pumps, and therefore prolong the life of these parts. I could also see where it wouldn't help performance or mileage. I would like to know what benefits, if any running two stroke has. Even minimal benefits could be worth it in the long run.
