micknkeef;

Here is what happened to me a couple of years ago:

... We jump in the wife’s DD Nissan V-6 Quest for a sudden 3000 mile trip. The engine had a miss under load and the fuel mileage was over 25% down from normal highway fuel mileage. At the second fuel stop I added 8 oz of Pennzoil 2 cycle out board oil to the twenty gallons. After less than 100 miles I can’t feel the miss in the engine. At the next fuel stop the mileage was back up to 29 mpg. I saved more than the $1.76 for the oil on the next fill up alone. I don’t know whether it was carbon on the plugs, the gyrator rotor in the fuel pump galling, valves sticking, or if it was fuel injectors sticking! All I know is the car ran perfect for a long time after the trip.

1. Two Cycle Out Board Oil (at less than $2.00 per pint) is made from heat resistant very low ash content oil and has cleaners as well as rust inhibitors.

2. Many modern vehicles are equipped with metal to metal gyrator type (like an oil pump) fuel pumps and gasoline is not a good lubricant.

3. There are parts in fuel injectors and carburetors that benefit from the cleaners and lubricants in the OB oil.

4. The cleaners will reduce carbon build up on the valves, spark plugs, EGR systems, and in the firing chamber and this can reduce pinging.

5. Benefits include reduced wear on many items including compression rings.

6. The Out Board Oil does not foul the Catalytic converter.

Have a good one and CUL.. lakota
