Dude, seriously.
These aren't the older style diesels where you could get away with dumping anything from veggie oil to tranny fluid to regular motor oil in it and still have it run.
Common rail is far more precise and runs at extremely high pressures. At the same time, they are more sensitive to what kind of fuels go through them.
2-stroke oil isn't designed for pressures approaching 30,000 psi at the nozzle. You don't know what kind of damage you could possibly be doing if you run anything other than what the manufacturer approves... which is diesel fuel and cetane boost/anti-gel. 2-stroke oil doesn't react the same as diesel fuel at high pressure, and doesn't atomize the same.
This is just one of many reasons why you don't put stuff in these trucks that you don't have too.
