2 Stroke Oil Additive

I know some of you add oil to your diesel I just filled up both tanks is it synthetic 2 cycle oil you use . I got two 3.2 OZ. bottles of Synth 2 cycle oil left over from a chainsaw & blower purchace . Does not say TCW-3 but It problably is up to todays standards . Should I throw it in ?

I did that a lot before... It didn't change anything performance wise... made er smoke a little more at WOT... However I did notice that it idled smoother. It seems to me it lubricates the upper cylinder since this ultra low sulfur diesel is out and no lubrication to it. This new diesel is hard on our OBS's

Oh and I forgot to mention that I believe the mix ratio people have used is around 1 oz of oil for every gallon of fuel. So long as its ashless your fine.

As long as its ashless it should be fine. Supertech 2 cycle oil is what is preferred by many.

Just changed my fuel filter. Been running Redline Watercraft two stroke oil for the 5k plus the filter was in it. The filter looked good. No residue at all.
