Hello, am I from Peru? and here? You can only get Yamalube oil from Yamaha for 2-stroke engines, can it be used to improve the bad gasoline we have??? Will it have the same effects as Pennzoil, 2 strokes?

Sorry...Had to get Google to translate...I can't actually say it will or it won't...That being said, You want TC W3 rating. That is for water cooled marine 2 stroke engines. If it has that...I don't see why it wouldn't work. Good Luck...

Made an account just to add my experience. I drive a smart fortwo. Adorable little 3-cyl engine that gets 40-45MPG depending on all hw or mixed.

I decided to try some valvoline TCW3 twostroke at a 250:1 ratio. I didn't want to believe some of the claims in this thread because it seems impossible that just a little bit of oil in the gas could do it. But when you're in a car that small where the engine is basically right under your butt, the butt dinos a lot more sensitive.

Because it's such a small car and you're right on the engine it usually idles and Shakes pretty decently but this almost instantly quieted it down. It idles significantly quieter and with less vibration now, and i track every single tank. And my mpg is very very stable, this increased my avg mpg by about 2mpg which is crazy to me.

I bought a little cocktail measuring cup so i could have both 1oz/2oz measurements in a small little stainless steel cup for when i fill up. I'll now be doing this in any car i ever own the results were crazy i still don't really understand how it can be this dramatic

Well I don't have an answer for you as to why or how it works...But if you go back a few pages and read my input...you get a pretty well tested experience. The trip I was making every Weekend was exactly the same. Never any variation. Same "Route", same "Gas" stations, same "Time Of Day". Nothing Changed. And for the most part, always the same speed. CHP is riding in the "Trunk" just waiting to pop out and "Write" you. So "Cruse Control" all the way up, and all the way down. No Air Conditioner, Windows Up.
See the car was not my daily driver even. I was using it because of the Cruse Control. My daily driver was a 2008 Cobalt 5-speed. Only Option was Floor Mats. No Fun on a long drive... The Camaro Stepped right up and was the perfect choice.

This is a great thread and I hope it never dies. I came across it via Bobs the oil guy and LSJ?s video talking about upper cylinder lubrication. Anyway, I just started treating my 2023 f150 5.0. I will definitely update with results as I get more data in. Awesome thread.
