i have a buddie with a 2000 f-250 and he told me that he puts 2 stroke motor oil in his fuel to make it blow thicker and darker smoke... does anyone if this will work and if it's safe for my 96 f-350?
I add a Qt of 2-stroke oil to each tank when I fill up. It doesn't make it smoke anymore than normal but within 5 miles of adding it my idle smooths out and the engine runs quieter.

STROKER
So... The tank that is almost empty already has the oil added from the last fill up & is quiet & smooth. Now you add more oil & in 5 miles it gets quieter & smoother. By now it must be you have to look at the tach to tell if it is running since it is so quiet & smooth.
I'm thinking it's all in your head & the oil doesn't do anything that the average person can notice.
In 379,000 miles I haven't needed or added any additives to my truck & it runs just fine. Still has the original fuel pump & injectors

NO, if I run strait ULSD for several tanks and then use the oil I DO NOTICE A DIFFERENCE. My truck has a lope when it idles (old injectors) very noticeable the truck rocks and shakes. If I am running 2-stroke the truck runs a lot better. You may want see a doctor for your sensory deficit if you can't tell when your truck it running rite.
I was fueling up the other day and some dude next to me told me to add 1 qrt of engine or tranny fluid to about 35 gal of fuel. he told me it would be better than any other fuel additives. I personaly dont trust him
