Walmart 2 stroke oil

So I go to Walmart today to get a couple gallons of Super Tech 2 stroke oil. I looked all around and couldn't find any. Not even any 2 stoke oil except in very small bottles. I asked the sales person if i had just missed it someplace. She said no WM has cut back on a lot of items. Say what??

No 2 stroke oil in Minn?? Well tomorrow I'll head to a couple other stores and see if it just this store or across the board.

What do we do now?? I know...use something else or none at all but I really like the stuff.

So far, they have always had the Walmart brand in gallon jugs at all of our area stores.

Usually, they also have the yellow jugs of Pennzoil brand for a couple more bucks.

I am going to look into getting it from our bulk oil supplier in maybe five-gallon buckets.

You could try a boat dealership or lawnmower shop....but price will most likely be higher.

Most likely an outboard, since he's buying by the gallon, and they take a different 2-stroke oil than a chainsaw or weed eater.

Thanks Chris. I was just making sure that i didn't miss something about new trucks needing two stroke oil for some odd ball reason.

Thanks again

I think they are actually talking about buying the 2 stroke oil for use in their truck as a fuel addiditve.

Some guys believe that the added lubricity has advanatges for their pumps etc.

I run it and it works great. 1 oz to a gallon of diesel.
Use the search function. This topic has been beaten to death.

I add 1 oz of WW 2-stroke per gallon of diesel fuel.

I'm not too sure if it adds longevity, but when I DON'T add it, the diesel 'clatter' is much louder.

True statements.

Thanks everyone .... that is what I thought that maybe you were using the 2 stroke oil in the cummins for some reason. Is that a good combination ...1 oz to a gallon of diesel fuel ? How accurate must I be when measuring the 1 oz per gallon ? Should I use it in a new truck ?

For added lubricity I mix in some biodiesel. I don't mind the "clatter".

I use a quart per fill up. I tend to run it down to the point where I put in right at 30 gallons, that is close enough to 1 oz a gallon. As for putting it in a newer 6.7 I will defer to others, you will get mixed answers on if it will hurt the DPF or not. For any of the 5.9 engines, no issues.
