2cycle oil in diesel vehicles

Anonymous-0 · Oct 7, 2011

previous owner of my wife's kia did it, forums say do it, so we did it.......... I'm not allowed to drive it except for on autobahn trips where high bridges are involved so don't really notice anything about it.....
drove it the other day and it sounded a little clackity at startup and acceleration seemed a little odd....... asked her when the last time she used the oil at fillup and got that look...... Filled up and put a cup of oil in and had almost immediate results.quieter/smoother, and felt a little peppier (I made a couple new words for this thread)........ good idea to put it in the diesel tractor also??????

just thought I'd share............

I use to use it in my 01 Powerstroke. I bought a gallon, pour it in a 12 ounce bottle, and put that bottle to 40 gallons. Help a good bit. Switched to B20 biodiesel, quit using the 2cycle in in, but know of several others who still do it. I dont use it on my Duramax though.

I am going to use TCW-3 approved 2 stroke oil in my Jetta next tank. I used it before, and noticed the same difference as you, Dave. I just ran out and forgot to buy more for a few months. I can't buy the biodiesel here yet, and the local gas stations have the crappiest fuel you've ever used.

I have a JD4320 that the injector pump sticks. Throttle down and it will die if not careful, won't restart until cooled off. I add a few ounces of 2cy and it fixes it right up.
