That's normal. You can't fix something that came from the factory broken.

I have Friends that work on Diesels all day long that Run used ATF and Motor oil in there daily drivers. The would put 5 gallons of oil that had been run through a 2 micron filter. This was of course after they let it sit and any water settle out, but I have heard of people running as high as 90% oil or Atf in their trucks. So i doubt your doing any harm at all putting a "whole quart" of 2 stroke oil in the tank.

I run 1/2 a quart per tank in mine, may try some more. Seems to definitely help quiet the injectors. I use the cheap Wal-mart Tech stuff, per the advise on a thread in here awhile back. I'm happy with the results, and have confidence in the good it's doing that I can't see.

regards,
Matt

I use the walmart brand too. I use up what I have left over from other applications too as long as it's TCW-3 rated.

Did a search and found this. Not knocking walmart brand cause I use it. Just passing along an opinion for those that are interested.
