I actually just did this. I had a few gallons of mixed fuel I needed to get rid of and dumped it in the burban tank.

Just started this about 2 weeks ago. I can't get an accurate reading with the gas miles because I started when I took my 22's off for the winter. As far as the idle there's improvement for sure. I'm gona keep doing it unitl I find a reason not too.

From what I understand from the ls1 forum is that you need the add packs contained in any tcw3 2 stroke oil. I use walmart brand.

No, does not need to be Penzoil. Just make sure it has a TC-W3 rating/certification.

I have been using 2 cycle oil in my 03 yukon for a while now and I have noticed that my piston slap at start up has gone away along with a small increase in fuel mileage. I give it two thumbs up. Mitch.

I have herd A little about this, just wondering who has done it and what were the benifits. Also did it damage any parts in the course of operation?

thanks
I'm going to give this a try
