I'm also on my second tank of 2 stroke mix. Sometimes the car sounds really quiets, other times like today it sounded really noisy. I fill up twice a month so i'm going to keep using 2 stroke till my MOT in April and see if there are any changes in the emissions test. Not really scientific I know but I only fill up on supermarket diesel so maybe the results will say the engine is abit cleaner? Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Hi there, I haven't done it for a little while but there was a time when I closely monitored my fuel consumption on an old 2.8 td Isuzu. I used supermarket fuel and I used fuel company fuel. I did find that although the fuel from the supermarket was 1 - 2 pence a litre cheaper I also found mpg was also down by 2 - 3 mpg. So I concluded unless the price difference was at least 5 pence a litre then I would only fill at fuel company stations.

I've followed this thread with interest. I have come down on the side of Yamaha Fan and added 200ml 2T to my tank. I bought 1L of Draper 2T chainsaw oil JASO FC which was red in colour. I was a little perturbed by the warning "do not use this in four stroke engines"...oh well!

The idea is that if the burn is cleaner then the EGR will not get gummed up.

Ah, thanks JST. I wondered that was the case. I may have misinterpreted the initial advice which was to start by adding a litre of the two stroke to clean everything out but then again that was 70 or so pages ago on this thread! |

I can't offer you scientific explanations I am afraid.Though I thought that the reasoning had been covered by Yamaha in some of the earlier posts. My memory is that it was a waste of money more than anything else but there may well have been technical reasons as well that now escape me!

As far as I understand: Mineral 2SO burn a bit cleaner than full synthetic. On cars with DPF this is more critical. Iam not sure it there exist a low ash variant of synthetic 2SO? |

Buried somewhere in the previous 74 pages are the explanations why one should use, or not use, mineral or synthetic 2SO and the differences between FB, FC and FD.

no it doesn't have a DPF and use the cheapest mineral 2SO you can find - it will have FB as part of its spec.
