Strange... I've gain 5-6 MPG (21.7 to 23.3 MPG) by using 2 cycle oil now for 40K miles...

I highly doubt the oil in the cause of the loss in MPG's...

Due to lack of punctuation I think you misread his post, re read it... took me 3 times to make sense of it.

I was also wondering what was better the 2 stroke oil or the fuel additives you can buy?

Sorry about the lack of punctuation,I guess I just got in a hurry and neglected it's use. I did have another ? has anyone checked the lube properties of two cycle oil designed for air cooled engines?

[Mopar1973Man]

Most all 2 cycle oils have to hold to a standard of TCW-3 so it don't matter if its design for air cooled or watered cooled... I've used both...

Yamalube...
Wal-Mart Super Tech
Sthl Chainsaw 2 Cycle oil
Phillips 66 Injex
PennzOil 2 Cycle Oil

and the list goes on..

I guess I should have been more specific, instead of using TCW3 oils what about API-TC oils, there is quite a difference, though I don't know if the Cummins would benefit from the higher grade oil

You know, I have been irritated at some of the questions in these threads, by folks who obviously haven't read the content, but now view it as "spreading the word" and enlightenment. I appreciate the work Mopar1973Man and others have done to find a simple solution to our lube issues and prolong the life of our trucks. So go ahead and ask a question that has already been run through the mill, someone else will see it and gain from the exposure.

I'll definately pay closer attention in the future as for the use of 2-stroke I'm all for it, gains in mpg's,quieter engine and better lubrication.:
