So, I used 2 cycle oil in my truck for a bit when it was warmer out. I stopped when the snow started to fly. I didn't know if it would affect the fuel in a bad way.
The truck is quieter with the use of 2 cycle. I know it's used in snowmobiles and other winter applications. But those are not diesel applications.
What say you? Would this be any risk at all using it in the winter?
I do use the white DK with every fill up

 

I use it year round

 

How much oil are you putting in each tank at fill up? Going to be leaving on a trip and I was thinking of using it as well.

 

1/2 - 1 oz per gal of diesel. I use it year round also.
I use one quart per tankful

 

I have never heard of putting two smoker oil in diesel fuel before. What are the benefits?

 

I slicks up the fuel so that the injectors can do thier job easier.

 

hmm, interesting.

 

So then for 25gal tank use a full quart of oil? And there is no harm n doing so?

 

you hear of guys who's fuel bowls are full of oil.. and truck still runs fine.. guess it cant be that bad! my truck's PO ran it with 2 stroke oil

 

Been running it for two years in two different trucks. Only side effect is a slighlty quieter engine, and the feeling of knowing my fuel pump and injectors properly lubed.

 

good lord, a full quart per tank?? I use 9oz per tank. You have not run into any problems running that much oil? A thread here is where I got the 9oz number, a full quart is quite a bit more.

 

I usually add about 25 gallons of fuel at each fill up (I try not to let it get below 1/4 tank). To that I will add about 16oz of 2 cycle oil.

 

I use the 3 glug rule, seems to be plenty.

 

Any 2 cycle oil work

 

I've heard of and also ran Automatic Transmission Fluid in a GMC Diesel that I used to have . I was told it needed it for the injection pump . I'm not sure that it did any good though because it still went bad in the truck twice !! Very expensive to replace injection pump ..
