I dump mine into the tank of my Ferguson tractor. I usually top my tractor tank off before I start using it in the spring so that miniscule amt. of oil from one gallon or less I have left over is micenuts....WK

If you figure that your auger mix is 24:1 and you have 1 gallon that you would mix with 15 gallons in your vehicle that would be about 350 parts of fuel to one part of oil. So with that thouhgt in mind your vehicle is going to be just fine no matter if it is 30 years old or 3 days old, there is more oil picked up from the tanker coming from the refinery. And that is why you have a filter on your vehicle. I personally just run it in my truck. That's just my two sh inners worth though.

2 stroke oil keeps gas from tarnishing. Better than gas treatment that last for 6 months at most. 2stroke oil keeps gas is good for a year or more. It will not hurt you car/truck engine. Its extra lube for the engine is all. Rip N Lips

If it's no more than a gallon, I'll just dump it on the ground behind the shed. After all, that's where it came from.

I have added it to my vehicles in the past with no issues.  In fact my old car ran the best it ever did with some old gas that was mixed 32-1 and had some lead additive in it.  Most times it is less than 1/2 gallon in a full tank.  The olds took 10 gallons all at once.  I have done this on my 93 Oldsmobile, 06 Tundra and 05 Durrango.  No issues with these, but I'm not saying it could not cause problems in your vehicle.

No, I wouldn't do that, especially if there are any wells around.  There's a lot more chemicals in gasoline than when it came out of the ground. 

oh you mean your not supposed to dump that stuff on the ground, but what about all the motor oil i''v been dumping on the ground, no wonder all the frogs in my pond have 5 legs and 2 heads  ;D

The good thing about some amphibians (salamanders and such) and more specifically, LOBSTER!!!

I know they aren`t related,, but a lobster will regrow a claw that it loses at next molt. It takes a few more molts to bring the claw back to it`s former glory, but it`s like `Chicken of the sea`...

Not necessarily just for breakfast...  ;)

When I talked to the folks at Opti-2, they said I could burn the mix in any car without a problem. I usually mix just a gallon at a time to use it in 3 different chain saws, a weed eater, and my Jiffy 30.there isn't much chance for it to get stale. I have run it in my car successfully.
