This reminds me of the time when a classmate in my horticulture class killed her entire back yard after the lesson talking about pesticides and how horticultural oil works by suffocating the little buggers. She evidently did not listen or understand the lesson, because she sprayed motor oil on all her plants. Ded.

Good intentions and bad information can yield quite unexpected results.

I've heard of people doing it. As a matter of fact, there's a guy that does it in his supercarged HHR on another forum. I think he used to be a member here...

Even if you have experience with any additive from the past and felt it helped, bear in mind a Direct Injected engine where combustion is immediate and no fuel flows over the intake valves or seats that it is a whole different situation.

I have a GMC diesel 6.5 and I put 1 quart of 2 cycle oil every fill up this replaces the lubricity lost when they removed most of the sulfur from the diesel fuel.

I say just bump up the Flux Capacitor from 1.21 Gigawatts to a full blown 2.0 then you will need no additives.

Another key caution is this...oil is a known detonant, in that it can cause serious detonation (spark-knock) to occur. In our racing engines, it is an enemy when ingested via the intake system. I can't see it being friendly to HHR engines when used in this way.
