I got a 35 gallon drum of 2 cycle mix oil and wanted to know it was OK to mix in the fuel on the 3 rd gens?
Thanks.

I wouldn't do it... it's not worth the small savings vs the risk..... but then I don't like to alter my vehicles much or run strange fluids. I tried saving some money by running some crap out of a natural gas well thru my vw bug and it barely ran.. that experience left me cautious... let us know how it works tho.

That's a lot of two stroke oil!

Iv started to add a little every time I fill up. I usually get about 14 to gallons, and in to that I add 8 oz of the 2 stroke oil and 4 oz of power service. So far so good, It seem to be a little more response and I picked up a 1 mpg just playen around in the city.

No - don't do it. Use an additive that"is engineered as a additive" Try Alamagated - it is cheep - and I have been using this for 260,000 miles w/ no problems.
Good luck
