I'm thinking of giving this a go - does anybody have any views on semi-synthetic or full synthetic TSO for an engine fitted with a DPF? |

I picked up a couple of 1 litre bottles of 2T FC from Asda (had to order on the website and pick up at the local store) cost me £5.00 each instead of the in-store price of £7.50

Can you confirm it was FC spec and not FB. I went into my local ASDA last night and they had their own brand TSO oil on the shelf (at £5 per lt) but it was FB, so given other comments on here I didn't buy it. |

Well I spent all day yesterday reading this very interesting debate on 2so (2 Stroke Oil) when I should have been doing so much more, fortunately the wife was at work!

Have been reading this one with interest. We started adding Morey's UCL to our tractors maybe 30 years ago, off and on. At present, am using an Australian product, cannot recall name as it was old stock/surplus/disposal and was in plain packs. $5:00 a gallon ! It works really well. We bought a used tractor, about 2500 hrs run and the exhaust at idle was a bluey haze. Now with a couple of years work, the exhaust is clear at idle. The injectors are untouched. What I think happens is this. This particular oil has a high flash/burn point. As it is slowily consumed by the engine it is absorbed into soot at the business end of the injector, absorbed into deposits in the engine, softening, flaking and cleaning. The injectors I suspect are in pristine order, we are getting ideal atomisation, a good burn, extracting maximum value from the fuel. I think that there is little downside. The amounts going in are miniscule in reality. The worst that can happen is nothing. At the very least it makes me feel happy. But the clean exhaust, snappy response, I can happily live with. I have read that in petrol engines, greater wear could be measured near inlet valve where petrol enriched vapour dissolved protective oil on the bore. So having a continuing dose of oil, albeit small, must be a plus. Once my supply, 30 gallons runs out, I will have little qualms about a good shot of super two stroke every fill. One final point, the exhaust smells dry, well burnt, not aromatic and oily, if that makes sense. |

In regards to concerns about clogging the DPF, the industry standard for maximum ash content in TC-W3 oils is 0.001% or 10ppm(US). A specific brand has claims 0.000% ash or truly ashless. For comparison EN 590 ULSD requires a maximum ash content of 0.010% or 100ppm, this is also the same standard for US ULSD. In addition 507.00 rated engine oils call for a maximum ash content of 0.80% or 8000ppm.

Tesco selling a litre of Castrol Actevo 2T for just over a fiver. JASO FC. Think this is a mineral based oil so good quality? HSE, td4 - Stornoway Grey - full alpaca interior - 2011 front facelift - privacy glass.
