I now have about 3,000 miles on my use of 2-cycle oil and last weekend I had an injector or 2 knocking on
I tried PS /2 stroke oil, no MMOalso wintertime and got a drop too. I just filled up after a tank without any additives and got 18.2. I think I'll go 1 more tank no adds and start with 2stroke only and see what happens

Just purchased my first dodge, a 2006 Ram 3500 w/ a 5.9 cummins. I was looking at additives, saw the drews brew. Readabout it and would like to try it. But I havea 48 gallon tank on my truck and the mix is for 35 gallons. After working out the math I believe I need to use a mix of 21oz of PS to 11oz of MMO just want to know if this is correct.........

Hmmm...Here's something to think about - The company sponsoring the article (the one's that put it online for us to view) is an Opti-Lube dealer.

I'm not making any accusations, but it's certainly something to think about.

Used Rotella was number 13? PowerService was number 10? That just doesn't seem right.
