On the comment section below the video there is a tip on using 2 stroke oil

Quote as follows.. I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so Also keeps carbs + injection and tank clean and rustfree

Might do, but they also reckoned that leeches and snake oil were also beneficial

There have been a lot of posts on many of the modern car forums about this being good to add to diesel cars to replace the additives the Eco fuel has removed and reduce the wear of the fuel system etc. I can't recall where I saw the article I read that one of the additives you can buy was a very similar mix to two stroke oil. But I also recall there being two types two stroke of which one is synthetic and not suitable.
as perviously mentioned it might be just snake oil stories but it seems there is are a great deal of diesel owners using it. I mainly use it in my strimmer Smokes like the clappers if you get the mix wrong

Why not just add a bit of Castrol R
That way at least it will smell nice if nothing else.

I use it in my x type diesel. 250ml per tank full. Been using it for couple of years now all ok. Makes the engine run slightly smoother and quieter. No adverse affects but the engine runs on oil anyway. Whether it would do any good in a petrol engine I'm not sure but I don't think for one minute it would do any arm. It would only act as a upper cylinder lubricant anyway.

Main reason for doing it in a diesel is to add lubricity for the fuel pump? I know that older generations of these don't much like the much reduced lubricating properties of low sulphur diesel, but I hadn't thought it was valid for petrol engines, where a shot of redex is just the job.

I can see no downside and only benefits even on a petrol engine such as our old lumps.

The only thing to be careful of is ratio, as it would be with a two stroke - the more oil is in the tank, apart from the smoke, the weaker the mixture becomes as the oil is displacing/replacing the fuel.

Seen two strokes seize from too much oil as the weaker mixture made it run too hot, so as long as you keep it to 100:1 or higher, it should give you a benefit.
