Not bothering adding the oil even with its benefits as YF has fully explained.

After reading everything that was discussed about adding 2-Stroke Oil (especially what Yamaha-Fan had to say) I've decided to add the oil from day one. Therefore I cannot say that I've noted improvements but I like how the engine sounds. She started great even when very cold (minus 17 C over the night and minus 8 when I started her). Have kept her outside and she statde better then my Peugeot 407. Hope nothing changes. Matei FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER |

NPinks your reason for ignoring 2-T oil is understood and accepted. But maybe you should also think of your contribution to the air pollution theme, to which you can greatly contribute if you use 2-T oil.

I was completely pursuaded about the benefits of adding 2 stroke oil to diesel as described by the very knowledgeable YF. However, I remain twitchy about how LR would respond if there were any subsequent engine problems.

I have no startingproblems and the car sounds OK, so I have decided not to ad oil, it costs too much.

Nick Jan, I can assure you that I have not come accross any (legal) case in the past 10 years where a car manufacturer or dealer could prove that the addition of 2-T oil has been the cause of the defect under judgement.

Have not heard about this thread until today Regardless of any benefits it may have on the environment or engine wear, if Land Rover suggested that FL2 owners added oil, then I would. As they haven't I don't see the point in doing so, especially on a new car under guarantee. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Nope, me not adding 2T-oil, FL2 has a 3 year warranty so if anything goes wrong it gets fixed for free. And as I will only have the car for 3 years before I change it I won't benefit from the extra expense. ______________________
