Not sure if anyone still remembers this - But hearsay adding 2T engine oil into the fuel tank help to provide some lubrication to the piston, cylinder wall and exhaust valve areas.
Its suppose to go into a 2 stroke motorcycle engine - and if you remembers how a 2 stroke engine works -

So basically, the petrol itself carries the engine oil into the combustion chambers to lubricate the moving parts. On 2 stroke motor bikes - you might see a separate tank holding 2T oil ready for a controlled mixing with the petrol before it get injected into the engine.
It has been a long time since I have done this and a neighbor told me he is still doing this to his GTR. So I decided to get a bottle and pour about 300ml into my fuel tank. When I bought it at the Esso station the cashier looked at me and reminded me 3 times that its for old motor bikes .......
This is the one I chose and the specs - Read the part about the chainsaw below ........

"Applications
Mobil 1 Racing 2T is recommended for lubrication of two-stroke engines used in the highest performance motorcycles, snowmobiles and lean oil/fuel ratio chain saws. It is ideal for applications where API TC or JASO FD performance standards are recommended. The product helps to provide outstanding performance even in some of the harshest operating conditions.
Specifications and Approvals
Mobil 1 Racing 2T meets or exceeds the requirements of the following industry specifications:
API TC
ISO E-GC, E-GD
JASO FC, FD
SAE Grade 1, Grade 2
Typical Properties
Mobil 1 Racing 2T
Viscosity (ASTM D445)
cSt @ 40 ºC 83
cSt @ 100 ºC 12.7
Viscosity Index 154
Sulfated Ash, wt% (ASTM D874) 0.15
Pour Point, ºC (ASTM D97) -42
Flash Point, ºC (ASTM D92) 100
Density @15.6 ºC g/ml (ASTM D4052) 0.884"
It has been 2 weeks since - And I have to say that the throttle felt lighter and the FC did improve by a wee bit. Told my neighbor about it - he told me I needed to whack the car to Malacca for a coffee and I would feel the difference on the way back ..... maybe will try after the CNY.
Btw, I poured 300ml into my XC90 as well ..... but did not tell CO about it. 2 days later she told me the car seems to have a lighter throttle and the ride seems to cruise more than often (stepped less on the accelerator)..........Like a mystery.
