Been testing Oil

I was very skeptical at first, but it works well and for several years has caused me no ill side effects. Just better mpg, and smoother idling.

I use supertech marine 2-cycle oil from walmart. Comes in gallons and I put it into clear squeeze bottles, with oz marks on the side. one gallon is good for 50 or so fill-ups and 1 oz per 5 gallon mixture.
Been testing Oil That's quite a discussion. I jumped through it a bit (56 pages from 2008 - 2015) and didn't see any negatives. I have been using marine 2-stroke oil when I run jet fuel in my old diesel, but had never heard of it in gasoline cars. Going to start doing it on my next fill-up.
