TC-W3 marine two stroke oil as a gasoline additive - NEW
So after the last thread on this here disappeared, let's get another one going.
http://www.ls1.com/forums/f48/been-testing-91206/ ^^ the original thread over on LS1.com, with research and oil analyses and what-not... But the gist of it is this: *adding ONE OUNCE of TC-W3 rated 2-stroke marine oil to 4/5 GALLONS of gas at each fillup does wonders for our vehicles. * TC-W3 is ashless, so it's clean burning. *Smoothes out and quiets down the engine. I have PERSONALLY taken decibel readings both before and after adding TC-W3 to my gas tank, and the engine runs 9dB quieter at idle. About 15 percent quieter, that's verified! *Also, it has been reported that some users get better mileage with it ( I personally do not, but I tend to drive on the energetic side anyhow) *Cleans out the injectors and top end of carbon and deposits *lubricates the fuel delivery system *does NOT harm O2 sensors / catalytic converters / emissions equipment at all. *reduced hydrocarbon emissions (CLEANER EXHAUST) It is available at auto parts stores, Wal-mart...wherever. The ONLY stipulation is that it has to be TC-W3 rated. Brand is not relevant. It's cheaper than MMO, techron cleaner, seafoam...all of it. |
thread stuck. sorry about the previous thread. it was deleted by accident when we were removing spam.
|
no worries, and thanks! :wavey:
|
Glad this thread is back! I have been using this for almost a full tank now. I seem to notice a jump in MPG'S. I did, however, get a code last night when my gas tank needle hit the 1/4 tank mark. CEL code was p0440...evap leak, gas cap, ect. My question is this wouldn't be related to the use of tc-w3, would it?
|
no it would not. The TC-W3 lubricates the hoses and internals so it was bound to happen regardless.

sure thing. CELs do suck though :sadpace:
|
Glad its back
|
Glad to have this thread back. Sucks the last one was deleted by accident.
|
I'm glad to see this discussion restarted and finally get the sticky treatmant. I'm still running this with positive results and decided a while ago to include my lawn mowers, snow blower, etc..
|
I should do it to my wife's Outback...damn I keep saying it but never get around to it.

Still averaging 23-25mpg in mixed driving with this stuff....and dead silent injectors!
|
maxima has been doing well for the last several thousand miles, and 6 or more tanks. didn't quiet anything down because my exhaust is loud.
|
I'm almost at 350k miles and it's still running nice and smooth with this additive.
|
how's it doing in the G8?
|
Thanks for this post guys, I am going out in a little while to fill my second tank of gas running this mixture. However, even in the first tank my MPG's were 1-2 better and my idle was MUCH smoother! My dad is going to try this in his 2000 Mazda MPV V6 soon.
|
Thinking about starting this on my next fill up. What do you guys use to measure and pour it into the gas tank?

Used a glass beaker to measure out 1oz at a time and then marked the bottle accordingly. :nod: |

So I plan on doing my first treatment with this stuff tmrw. I cannot wait to "experience the silk." I have one question though, is there any limitation to how many times you add TC-W3 per fill up? Can you do it every time you fill up or just a once in a while kind of thing?

Make sure you do the math is all. 1oz every 4-5 gallons. :) |

I found the perfect slogan: TC-W3. The God Particle of Fuel system additives.

It's going into your gas tank and then to the engine to be burned off. Synthetic is a waste of money IMO. You a non-believer? TC-W3 is full synthetic. :confused: |

TC-W3 is full synthetic. :confused: Walmart SuperTech is regular dino 2 cycle motor oil that contains the synthetic molecule TC-W3 inside it. Get it? |

OK. Let me clarify: the oil that TC-W3 is packaged IMO doesn't benefit from being synthetic. Walmart SuperTech is regular dino 2 cycle motor oil that contains the synthetic molecule TC-W3 inside it. Get it? I know that both have been used and reported similar results. |

I haven't looked into that, but I hear you.

There. You just proved my point. Why pay extra to get similar results? A lot of things have similar results for less money. Do whatever you want. |
All that matters if that the two stroke oil has the TC-W3 rating. Fully synthetic or not, it's not relevant. So long as it states TC-W3 on the label you're fine. The rest is a matter of personal preference, plain and simple
