  1. >> or simply the oil will burn along with gasoline .

    Or simply burn.

    Exxon claims they have additives already to clean the injectors.  But in my experience (and the TV show Mardern Marvel) all gas company add the save additives. So to clean them you need to add fuel injector cleaner.

    As for lubricating anything, leave the engine oil in the engine oil pan.

    Good luck...


  2. No, there's no advantage to it on a four-stroke bike.

  3. Agree with everyone else: a two-stroke needs oil in the fuel, so do what millions of other people do and don't add oil to a four-stroke. Don't you think that would have been tried before if there was any advantage?

    Also, using "mech" as your username, then asking totally UNmech questions is lame. (Yeah, I read your other questions as well)

  4. The only advantage is that it gets you pulled over faster by the police...no, wait...that's a disadvantage as well.  

    Nope, just as others have mentioned, it's not a good idea.

  5. you will pollute the air and ruin your plugs and cat

  6. None and it will be a disadvantage, has to lower the octane level and could cause trouble to your carb or injectors. Foul out your plugs and more then likely effect  their ignition range creating a colder ignition. Just an all around bad idea.

    Years ago people tried using transmission fluid as an additive to help lube the valves and upper cylinder.

    Products like Seafoam and Marvel Mystery Oil are very thin based oils that are supposed to achieve this same result as well. Try those if you think you need snake oil.... at least they are proven products today...  

  7. No advantage.  But jeez, I hate to see people bashing like that.  A couple of 'em even resorted to the old 'wouldn't really smart people already have thought of it?' argument.  As for the name you choose, that's his bizness, people!  

    Keep thinking for yerself, mate.

  8. nop, but i can tell u u the disadvantage:

    * there wil be more smoke coming out of the ekzos

    * spark plug will be like soaked in lubricant and there will be less  sparks giving the engine less power...

    dats all i know.... im onli 15 years old

      

  9. no advantage, only disadvantages such as damaging your bike and having to fix it. don't you think if adding oil to the gas in a four stroke had any advantage, there would already be four strokes that use a mixture of oil/gas?

  10. are you brain dead.
