two stroke oil ? ? does it REALLY do anything
ok so who runs tcw 2 stroke oil in their PSD ? Other than quieting the injectors, what is the REAL benefit ? I have seen the "charts" but I have no idea what that really means. Is the 2 stroke oil REALLY beneficial ? Thinking about buying a gallon at Walmart =P

First off you need to use the proper 2 stroke oil (no I don''t remember the right stuff). Personally I run Stanadyne (sp?) There are others with better ratings but the folks that designed the injectors formulated it.

Greetings ViperMan;
I've been running a combination of "Power Service" additive, and 2 Cycle oil from Walmart now
for the last 13 years, and nearly 200,000 miles...
My mixture is, approximately 6-7 oz. of Power Service, and 24 oz. of 2 cycle oil mixed into an empty
Power Service plastic bottle...
Dump the 1 Quart mixture every 1/2 tank...Into my Excursion, that's approximately 20+ gallons...
Does it work..???????????????????????//
I don't now !!!!!!! The only thing I can say is, the truck is running GREAT...
NO PROBLEMS WITH THE INJECTORS NOW COMING UP TO 280,000 miles...
The reason why I switched to it, was back then [2005 ?], they took the sulfur out of the Diesel, and everybody was talking about what to do....
And somebody recommend that mixture....
So, I did it....
The only thing I can say, is that it seems to not have hurt the engine any...

I've never run 2 stroke oil and only occasionally put some Power Service in the tank. My injectors were still going strong at 305K miles when my o-rings started to give out and I made the decision to replace the injectors while everything was out.
I was planning to go 400K on the original injectors if not longer.

My last comment would be..
The Diesel fuel we are currently running in our 7.3 diesel engines is ""NOT"" the kind of diesel fuel our engines were designed to use...
You have to remember back then, when they changed to fuel mixtures, MANY vehicles had problems with the 'new' fuel mixtures...""O" rings and other components....
The " 6.0 lt."" engine changed everything....
Diesel fuel prices used to be lower than regular gasoline....
""NOW"" it's up to .25 cents a gallon MORE....
It's not that they added anything...
It's what they took out....lubricity....

XS-SUV welcome to FTE.
There's fine print in everthing. But if you've strapped on this mechanisam for a quarter million miles, I, myself would start learning and listening,
I have a quarter mil on my plant, Ran straight jet fuel, JP-8 to be exact for better than 3 years, no additives and that stuff is thin. Made my own diesel out of Kero and gas and french fry oil for 9. Never touched an injector, pulled the VC's to do glow plugs once. Other than common maintenance. No concerns. E 99 f250 x cab sb. Work it like a horse year round pulling or plowing. It generally gets lubed on a friday night.
In short, this gen of truck will run on deeper bull**** than's going on here and still haul the mail.
