Sorry, no experience of your Bardahl BDC. I use 2SO on its own and have no problems, just less smoke. Cannot see the need of any additives.

Many might say the same about using 2 stroke oil Bob |

Each to their own dd. My experience is that 2SO halves the MOT smoke test results so it must be doing something good. Also an extra dose of lube is going to do no harm. 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Just made the second fill of 2SO in my MY2013 today. Using JASO FC spec from Castrol (Act>Evo 2T) at £9.99 from Halfords for 1 litre. Prior to this I had been using up some Millers Diesel Power Ecomax left over from when we had a camper van. Never felt this made any difference (although it did to the van on start up).

That seems expensive for the oil? I'm in Oz and it's generally a pricey neck of the woods but I buy Valvoline 2 stroke racing oil, which is JASO FC grade and costs $9.95 for 1L that's close to half the price you're paying. It also comes in a container with 100ml graduations so it's easy to use at the pump.

When, unlike you guys in Oz, you live in a place that gets VERY COLD, like Estonia, you would appreciate a heater to keep the car warm when parked up! 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

A parking heater that runs on diesel fuel, like Webasto or Eberspaecher. I am using 2so fast 2 years from now and i plan to install an Eberspaecer. Like many today's common rail diesel engines, they do not produce much wasted heat to heat up the cabin. In winter, most time is below -15c here and in Jan, Freb and March is common -25c at nights. Some cars have PTC ceramic heaters in HVAC systems but mine does not. A few Estonian adventures went to Siberia two years ago, they sayd that they can not use 2so because it can clog the aux heater and had fuel stability problems, but no aux heater in -45c is very bad. |

They did not used any 2SO, because they feared that the aux heater will clog. So i ask here, users with aux heater, did you have got any problems with the aux heater? |

There are several hundred posts about this, and perhaps it has already been answered, but I will ask anyway. Forgive me if it has already been answered somewhere in the middle of this thread.

The small amount you add will have little colour effect overall compared to actual red diesel. And you are doing nothing wrong by adding 2SO. If you look at other additives you can buy over the counter for fuel, they are often red too. |
