I’m not much for additives that only work when you add them and I learned some time ago that single additive single tank testing was beyond worthless as there is too much degrading in a powertrain for a single additive to handle. All I read tells me there is too little long term benefit for 2 cycle oil especially when used alone. What MMO and other additives can do for me on this tank is much less important than the cumulative effects over the life of the engine
We have an '82 Johnson that is used many hours every year. It has been run on tcw3 since the grade came out. It's as clean as a whistle when we tear into it. Tcw3 is specifically designed not to gum up or foul plugs. And at 600:1, bean oil probably wouldn't "gum up" a four stroke
