If I remember I will see how much that 2 stroke costs out here where I live.
On a Gasoline Engine you can see how some additive in the Fuel might help the upper Cylinder and Intake Valves due to the Fuel being delivered by most systems into the incoming intake Air and the Air/Fuel Mixture has some chance to hit the Cylinder Walls.
And, I can see how a Fuel additive; in this case 2 Stroke Oil could help lube things as far as the Injector.
But, once it is injected and burning in the Cylinders how does that lube the upper half of the Engine?
The only time I can possibly see the 2 Stroke helping the upper Cylinders is when you are first starting and Fuel is Injected but not burned or not burning completely.
I think I mentioned this way back in the thread somewhere. Some 2 Stroke Oil is red. If you are using red 22 Strok Oil and you are stopped and your Fuel Tank is dipped (checked to see if you use Off Road Diesel Fuel) what happens.
When this thread cam out I had several bottles and cans of 2-Stroke and I eventually put them in My Tank. I believe one was from Walmart and that it was stained Green, some were red one in a can was a light motor oil color.
