Anything labeled 2007 made in 2006 has no emissions other than maybe a Cat. Production date 1/1 2007 and up has all the goodies.

I put a pint in with every fill up in my 2007 6.7!
I read on a diesel forum, where an extensive test was performed using many fuel additives and conventional 2 cycle oil. The 2 cycle oil fished in 2nd place to a high dollar additive. I can’t swear that it helps.....but, I bet it doesn’t hurt!
In fact, as embarrassing as it is to admit this. About 3 years ago, I had my head placed securely where the sun doesn’t shine, and in almost 30 years of driving diesels.....I finally put gasoline in my diesel truck. I didn’t realize what I had done until it was full. About 27 gallons of gasoline in a 34 gallon fuel tank! 19 miles to my house, drain fuel tank, put a few gallons of diesel with a gallon of 2 cycle oil in tank and flushed system to injectors. Drive to town, fill tank with diesel this time! About 40K miles later.....she’s still doing OK. I can’t help but wonder if that little bit of 2 cycle oil added may have helped some! memtb
I am assuming your 07 was made in 06.

I’m not sure how it likes being compressed to 35000 psi’s in a common rail fuel system.
The manual for my old mechanical diesel Land Cruiser says emergency fuel can be made from 3 parts gasoline to 1 part 30 weight engine oil if necessary. It was built before the internet so that could be danger danger now.
Modern as in 07.5 and newer is no bueno!!! Won’t hurt the engine but sure will the downstream emissions systems.
