I think most are getting oil a wally and adding 1oz per gallon
I'm trying a mixture of 2 cycle oil and diesel clean adding 8oz diesel clean to 24oz oil,but havn't used enough to know anything (probly not worth the effort)

i can verify a definite 1mpg gain. I was averaging ~18 before and ~19 since i started using the 2 cycle. this last fill up I got 19.52mpg (3rd fill up using 2 cycle). i get the Super Tech Outboard TC-W3 from wally world. $8/gallon and i have been adding 1oz/gallon. I am still waiting to see some concrete evidence as to whether it is harmful or not before I guy another gallon.

I never used 2-cycle oil in mine. I use .5 oz DK per gal. I will do some searching to see if the oil is working out. I carry 2-cycle oil in my store, so it would be really cheap.

i don't think my mpg has been to accurate, i was looking at the the ebps and tube found multiple holes in it. So i order a new sensor and tube hope this helps also.

In THIS THREAD there is the information about an independent lab's lubiricity study of different products. TCW-3 protects your engine better than DK and is cheaper.
My truck seems to run smoother & a tiny bit quieter. I'm not sure about any MPG improvement. I've been towing too much lately to get a fair comparison.
