MPG trick for ALL CUMMINS
#11
I prefer to run a quart of 2 stroke oil per tank, just for lubrication purposes. ATF and MMO are not designed to burn, so they leave ash which can damage cylinder walls/pistons/valves etc. TCM-3 rated 2 stroke oil burns clean and you can hear the engine noise change, less injector and pump noise.

O.K., what am I missing here? I cranked the numbers and the math just doesn't add up. A gallon of automatic transmission fluid is around $65.00. A gallon of diesel is around $4.00 in my area. If the point is to increase your fuel mileage, you'll never make up the cost. Is it to help the longevity of the engine?

don't run ATF in your fuel, it will do nothing but plug up the injectors, valves, and turbine with ash content.
and what you're missing is said guy that was running ATF was getting it for free...likely using used ATF from work, or stealing it.
either way ATF is not designed to burn and will not burn clean. 2-stroke oil is cheap, its ashless, and its designed to burn and act as a primary engine lubricant in fuel, so it definitely does a good job.

mix ratio to meet manufacture recommendations for highest pump longevity is 128:1 or about a quart per 32 gallons.
here are tests done of different additives and how they perform as a lubricant.
