Dave, in my opinion you're right saying "you don't feel it needs it" as - besides of a smoother engine running - it is hardly possible to feel the difference.

High mileage won't be a problem for me. Car goes back in 18 months and depending on market conditions I'll probably get me a new one ______________________

Dave, although I do accept your stand, you do not know what you are missing, if you do not try it.

YF, If I was going to keep the car for a long time then I would probably try it and see, but as my FL2 gets handed back to the dealer in 18 months I'd rather keep my money in my pocket. I do work in the oil industry and at present the company I work for has back-orders totalling over 11 billion dollars.....

The most respected Italian car magazine - Quattroruote - recently published a report after using a Freelander2 for 100.000 km.

Thank you, Mabo, it is cream for my soul after so many critics (and some ignorants).

........adding 2T oil to diesel, is like adding flouride to toothpaste or tap water......

While there is good reason to expect that the solvents and additives contained in 2T oil may help cleanliness and solubility of dirt in the fuel (yes therefore keeping the valves and injectors clean). Is it not the case that these exact same properties can diminish the lubricity of the of the fuel, a particularly important feature of the fuel when used in modern ultrahigh pressure common rail injection systems. Any decrease in lubricity puts the pump at risk. Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery!

my understanding is that the 2T oil replaces the lubrication in diesel fuel, that was lost when sulphur was removed from diesel fuel. I think this also explains why the engine sounds quieter after adding the 2T oil.

Yes, I can support Jimmy. 2-T Oil INCREASES the lubricity of ULSD diesel fuel (ULSD = ultra low sulphor diesel), which is only sold in most of Europe for air-pollution reasons.

The colourless additive is SY124 (solvent yellow 124) |

A friend drop me the link from another forum and was shocked to see the 2 cycle oil usage really has traveled the world. So to just help out on your 2 cycle oil study over there in the UK... We are doing the same thing over here in the USA.
