Adding 2 stroke oil to gasoline.

Would adding a small amount of 2 cycle oil (like 1:100) be harmful to the n54 motor?

I've owned a few Porsches and we were always advised to use this method, especially for cars with turbochargers. I had a 930 and it became a maintenance requirement when ethanol was first introduced in winter fuel blends in the early 90's.

I've read a lot of literature which seem to conclude that ethanol is the cause of many of the problems with the n54.

Any chemical - mechanical engineers around here?

Thank you.
