Hi CK, I used Shell Advance VSX2 2 stroke semi-synthetic (0.5 ltr not 0.33 ltr - woops !) - and everything is fine so far as I can tell. The engine runs quieter from starting up, compared to using the normal diesel. I got my girlfriend to rev the engine & I looked at the exhaust gasses before and after adding the 2 stroke oil. Before there was some (not much actually) colouration being light brown / grey. Afterwards - I'm hard pressed to see anything. Maybe I'm hearing and seeing things - but I don't think so. br jimmy |

CK - I changed engine lube on my auto for Castrol 'Edge' a couple of k miles ago (@6k). Surprisingly, fuel consumption has improved already by >6%. Engine starts better (and quieter) and is also more quiet when running, especially in town when engine up to temp. |

....but the "Edge" costs about the same as gin, maybe more! |

Back in the late sixties/early seventies Castrol R was used in the prody racers and gave you the squits, I have to assume Castrol Edge Formula RS 0W40 will do the same so I doubt whether I will be adding this to my tonic

Excellent oil, the only fully synthetic motor oil suitable for diesel engines with DPF!
