2 Stroke Oil in Gas Tank
I've read a lot online about how adding some 2 stroke oil in you gas tank can help clean up your engine and lubricate the internal parts if mixed at 1 oz per 5 gallons of gas. Has anyone tried this with their truck? I happen to have about half a quart of valvoline oil from my dirt bike. I also have a small amount of seafoam sitting around which might help the truck.

Re: 2 Stroke Oil in Gas Tank
It's not going to "clean things" but will help prevent the burning of Exhaust valves and seats. In Alky engines they mix some into the fuel for top end and fuel system lube. As Alky has little to no lubricity to it.
