I'll repeat what I've said many times not all 5.9 2005 and up like 2 cycle oil but if it works in your engine that great and if not try something else. My engine does not like 2 cycle oil nor does it work in many other peoples 2005 and newer trucks I talked to on other forums.
I was just stating from my own experience a 2005 runs quieter when using an lube additive and pointing out the fact that the additive ratios used in that test on 2 cycle oil and power service diesel kleen are lower amounts then what most people normally use.

My engine does not seem to like 2 cycle oil either. I used it 3 times total and lost 3-4 mpg when I dumped last quart in at fill up (128:1). I was more worried about cat clogging than injectors. How many miles did you run 2 cycle oil before injector problems?

I do use diesel kleen every tank, my truck sits 6 months a year 8 weeks at a time.
