Hey guys, besides the Power Service, Howes, Meaner Kleener, Stanadyne, ect.... Is there anyone else running TCW-3 Ashless 2 stroke oil? I have been running it for a little over a year or so. It seems I never hear of anyone else doing this. Is there any ill side effects that I may not know about?
Thanks

Well, I just did a search and found that a lot of people are adding it. So, guess I answered my own question. Thanks

 

I run about a 50/50 mix of tcw3 and power service... I like it. Its certainly quieter. I've ran about 2 tanks with it and think I'll continue.

 

I have been running it for years now. Before that non-detergent 30w motor oil. Every other tank I mix it with some Power Service Diesel Klean.

I run 16oz. of Super Tech TC-W3 ashless from Wal-Mart and love it. Always know when I am not running it...truck sounds worse. I use it almost every fillup and use a can of Seafoam every 6 fillups.

 

Great. Thats been about what I run. I have never missed a fill up since I bought the truck new in 06 on adding Power service or Stanadyne, but like I said, for a little over a year I've been running the Super Tech. About 2 quarts super tech and half bottle of power service per tank. Motor seems to really like the super tech as well. I use the Meaner Kleener about every 5,000 miles. I don't really notice anything from the Meaner Kleener, but I like the idea it was rated Superior by Cummins. LOL Thanks Guys

 

Seafoam is a big no no with these newer common rails. Has lots of alcohol in it,

 

Care to elaborate????

 

Here's the MSDS on Seafoam.

Products containing alcohol isn't recommend due to it's moisture carrying capability.

I figured that with my AD150 having a water seperator built in...that it was cool. It works SSSSOOOOO well!!!! Smoothes out any rough idle!!!

 

I have heard Seafoam really is good for all trucks including 2nd gens but the 3rd gens I was heavily advised NOT to use it. Also, the 3rd gen injectors come with a coating on the tips. Alcohol strips that and can lead to failures.

 

Wow! Did you say two quarts of 2-stroke oil and 16oz of PS? I really don't know much about this, but have to say I'm surprised and would be afraid to do it. I simply use the recommended dose of Howes Meaner Power Cleaner and that's it. Am I missing somthing here? Tell me more........

 

I was a little suprised at those amounts. I ran PS for a long time, but then I started getting a little white smoke on cold starts. I added 10ozs SuperTech and it went away. I am now running 8 to 10ozs every fill. I have not really noticed any mileage gains, but it does sound nice and quiet.

 

Are you mixing with PS?

 

I run 16oz of super tech per fill up.Been doing it for over a year now.When I sent my pump in to Floor It to be modded John said he had a pump come in with 60k miles on it that had been on a truck using super tech since new and it looked great as far as internal wear goes.I took this as it looked better than a pump that had not had any additives ran through it.My truck runs smoother and has not had the occassional rough idle/white smoke syndrone since using it.
