I started with one ounce per gal. Then started using it along with Power Service Diesel Kleen so I cut it back. In the summer I usually add between 16and 20 oz. per fill up. In winter I either run nothing but Power Service (white bottle) or I mix in some 2 stroke with it. I dont know if it runs quieter or not, but I like the fact its providing more lubrication to my fuel system.

Anything that is "ash less" is OK to use.

Wallyworld is probably the cheapest and easiest to find it at.

Whenever I think about it, I'll buy one of the small bottles and dump the whole thing in when I fill up.

That's what I use. Says "Outboard 2-Cycle tc-w3 Engine Oil" on the jug. Been running it almost a year now without a problem.

I run the Supertech TCW3, 16oz per fillup, every other tank. Purchased while observing the People of Wal-Mart.

TC3 does not leave an ash or sludge after combustion. Meets EPA regs for
2 cycle engines.

How long have you guy's been running 2 stroke oil? I had thought of doing it, I am just worried about plugging up the cat. Do you have a noticeable difference in noise?

I think most people feel the motor runs a bit quiter. The main cincern is the low lubricity of ULSD in 5.9 trucks (07 & earlier). I think a lot of people have run this a long time.
There is some controvery over wether Power Servce,silver or white, has any lubrication at all, even though it says it does.
I think they are both worth unning in your fuel.

Who runs a cat these days?? jk.

I started using it when I was running my truck on straight Jet A. 1 oz. per gallon.

Now I just pour a quart in every now and again. at least once a month. I do not drive as much as I used to.

I can say that it has really helped my injectors, They do not act up very often at all.
