Dec 23, 2015 at 15:23 comment added race fever By the time you drive off in your new car the engine has been run a multiple times. Putting the oil in the fuel is a waste of time. He would have to add more than 4oz of oil in order to make a difference. It gets diluted into nothing. Lets say he did add more. You know what would happen? The car would run badly or not start. Look at it from this point of view: Does your friend who is a motorbike mechanic know more than thousands of engineers that design these cars?

Jan 23, 2013 at 4:58 comment added Chris all the break-in involves is sealing the rings. That being said, many engines arrive today already broken in. If anything the 2-stroke oil could clog your injectors and cause unnecessary carbon build up in your engine.

Nov 29, 2012 at 15:39 comment added Bob Cross My response to claims like this is "show me the data." The burden of proof is on the person making the claim, not the person saying "that sounds crazy." See also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies and lmgtfy.com/?q=butt+dyno
