Been testing Oil

he said all the detergents etc were found in the synthetic.

^^^wrong bud, the detergents are in TCW3 synthetic vs non synthetic is user preference

Good info Sarge.

Has anyone other than me heard of putting tranny fluid in the tank to clean fuel system. It works not sure what the long term effects are, and never tried it in a car with cat's. Car will smoke like a diesel on a cold morning, but it cleans everything.

i do this on the humvees i work on in the big sandbox to help with lubrication. the fuel we use there is very dry and tends to burn up the injector pumps on those damn gm 6.2 and 6.5 desiel engines. seems to keep them alive longer. but i have no hard data to back it up, just some easier work days.


i'm thinking i will do this on my next truck i'm trading for since it'll be a keeper, but do you have an idea on how it'd act with e85? thats what my toy truck is setup to run right now.

The question was about the racing oil. Get TC W3...doesn't matter if it is synthetic or conventional.

[c5z28]

thanks for the clarification

[suede]

no prob

Update on my 96 Ram. Ran several tanks through it and milage is improving. Last tank was 21.88 MPG. Best ever so far. driving was 25 to 40 miles at a time from one town to the second or third town away, 55 to 60 MPH.

It works folks. Thanks for sharing man....

Hey guys, I'm a frequent lurker here... Not too skeptical anymore on this one after reading up to this point... I wanted to know if anyone had some before and after pics of the combustion chambers, rings, valves, pistons etc. I went ahead and went thru with the procedure. I'll be sure to post my results in a week or so.

[Charlie1935]

I hadn't thought about it but the wife told me she was getting 18 MPG on the 87 5th avenue. No lean burn any more, it has the Mopar performance ignition conversion on it and the vacuum advance isn't hooked up.

We have some after pics but nobody has torn down and documented the internals before and after. I can tell you two participants rebuilt/modified after running two stroke in the fuel for a year and both where very clean. Which if you think about it with today's fuels that is a surprise.

One guy running the 2stroke has advanced his timing on a modified Ford a few degrees w/oil in the fuel with no detonation.

[Charlie1935]

I have the 5th set at 35 degrees total. Best I remember it's a little under 2000 RPM. I've been told ther is no ported vacuum on that carb. Need to check better on that. Mancini says I can run 5o degrees including vacuum.

I was wondering too. Mainly about lowering the octane but when I thought about it, one ounce to five gallons ain't much. I run 87 octane in everything with no problems.

[Charlie1935]

Hey Sarge, any one using this on a diesel?

[Sarge]

Two guys I know of....but I better check with them...I know they used many different ratio's before they hit the sweet spot.....I wanna say it was thicker but I will check for you...

[Charlie1935]

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm asking for for one of my stepsons.

[VTXrider]

I know on bitog.com they talk about using this in diesels

[Ponyspanker]

Hey Sarge, just wanted to let you know that I started adding the oil and am now on my 3rd tank. Idle has smoothed out considerably and gas mileage it up about 5%. This is on a completely stock 05 GTO.

[Sarge]

Thanks for your post man.....
