These are oil runing engines. I have added 2 stroke oil to mine and it ran better and sounded quieter. I think Stanadyne is about the best additive to use though. It's pretty cheap around here. Its like $6 a bottle.

The title "Adding two stroke oil to Dino" makes you are thinking crankcase oil.
That answer is a firm NO.
If you're thinking winter lube oil look at synthetics. I run 5W-40 year around. Really helps with cold weather starts.

I refuse to be labeled as an expert, but if you're talkin' fuel additives -
cetane booster of some brand for #1 winter fuel
anti-gell if ur in zero\sub-zero temps
two-stroke motor oil for ur Inj Pump plungers
Be a good idea to fill out ur sig with ur truck specifics - year, engine, transmission, chassis config, GVWR, axles-driven, # wheels on the tarmac, etc, etc

I already had a gell this winter.
I supposedly had winter diesel good for -20°F, but it was only -5° F the other night. The bio in all Minnesota fuel is going to make it a tough winter.
I was looking at your signature and noticed vegi in a tank. I don't know of any method to keep vegi oil flowing except by heat.
As far as fuel additive, I prefer Gold Eagle products. They go under Diesel Power brand labeling and also from John Deere.
