2-cycle Oils - Recommended List

[Blue Thunder]

I have a 2005 1ton, that has been chipped, runs great and I love it. When pulling hard I have an exhaust heat problem, Will hit 1400 if I let it. My question is if I start using Stanadyne and the 2 cycle oil for lub will it help with lowering the exhaust heat?

It won't do anything for the EGT's... What chip are you running? These motor will hit 1400* pretty easily when stock. If you want to drop the EGT's the best way is a Smarty, or Smarty Jr.

Not pushing Opti-Lube just stating my experience.

Dynamics of additives causes engine noise variables, not neccessarily lube quality. It might not be added lubricity that's changing engine noise louder or less.

Changing timing with a programmer or module will change the engine noise. Adding things to your fuel like off the shelf additives, 2 stroke oil, gasoline, will change the dynamics of your engine through the chemical change it produces in your fuel and the inherient causes of effect on an engine designed for a specific fuel. This extra or less noise doesn't mean extra or less wear. It has to be determined where the extra or less noise is coming from and why the noise has changed to determine the out come.
