Initially I had some injector knock and hesitation probably due to insufficient mixing, but it quickly cleared up and returned to normal. The engine sound is perhaps slightly quieter now, but it's not a big difference and a cetane booster would probably do an even better job in that department. No other noticed change thus far. I haven't had a chance to evaluate mileage yet.

What is the mixing ratio of oil to fuel that you are using?

I am using a pint to 34 gallons in my '07 Dodge-Cummins. I have the 5.9 without all the smog garbage that they had to put on the trucks produced after Jan 1 of this year.
By using the wally oil, it works out to only $1.00 per tank. My truck has common rail inj. I think that it will help with ULSD having little sulpher.
Guys on the Turbodiesel register are using 2 stroke.

If you don't like the idea....Don't use it If you like the idea.... then use it
