marvels mystery oil doesnt have good lubricity properties accordingto that test done a while back, ive heard good things about seafoam but not as a lubricant. ive been using 2 stroke oil for ahwhile now and noticed the engine is a little more quite. i have recently started using B20 as its lubrication properties exceed just about anything out there, but you will lose mpgs do to the lower btu's output of VO. i had been skipping the 2 stroke permix when on the B20 BUT i thing i will continue to use it with the B20 to maybe gain the MPGs back. before B20 i used the "16 oz of 2-stroke oil to 26 gallons" ratio but it was just easier to mix 16oz in the front and 16oz in the rear tank as i buy the gallon and refill a 1 quart container for portability. but i may go back to using it no matter what i run (B20 or ULSD)...

Have 2 diesel vehicles and 3 tractors. Been doing the 1 oz per gallon in the trucks for over 10 years on the 89 F250 and 7 on the 2000 F250 without any issues. Most of the farmers around here do the same. It does quiet the engine a bit.
Most reciently it has been attributed to saving a lot of pumps from leaking. The local co-op has an un-offical track of those who have had leakers since going to ULSD and those that do not. Interesting results that almost all of us that do not have leakers used 2 cycle oil and those that did have leakers did not use it.
Guessing the sample was 60+- vehicles.

Ive been using 2 stoke for the last 4 tanks. My roomate uses it as well. Both of us have noticed better MPG. I use about 1oz to 1 gal mixture. I run 2 tanks with it and then a tank of just #2. Works for me
