Yeh whoops I am still in my BMW

Of course I should had said diesel and not petrol. However with all respects to Miss, Mrs. or Mr. YF, I prefer to take the advice of Land Rover regarding which engine oil I should use, and if or not we should add 2-stroke to the "diesel" fuel.

I have earlier had long correspondence with LR (UK and Norway) particularly concerning FL2 the oil spec. and frankly some of the claims that have been made earlier just do agree with the facts. The advice given by Land Rover is clearly stated in the Owners Handbook and anybody who diverts from that, does it at their own risk.

My FL2 has been running on normal diesel for 1.5 years (without any fuel additives) and had absolutely no problems and which is extremely economic and runs as smooth as it did on day one. It also has no problems coping with the Norwegian winter temperatures which can be -25C.

So what is the point in adding 2-stroke oil at all. It certainly is not needed in Norwegian FL2's.  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Andy, I don't know how many Km. or miles you drove in 1.5 years but it's probably not enough to notice any difference in regard of noticeable wear.

There has been said so much in this topic that it's hardly possible to add anything that hasn't been mentioned before. Maybe you should read everything again from the beginning...

YF is a guy , I think ? he had a pic of Lucy Liu? as an avatar for a while so that maybe caused confusion? At work

It's amazing how most people are mistaking. Even on the German Freelander site Blacklandy.be, I had to correct someone in 2007 - and got Yamaha-Fan's answer as follows:

Wie Paul aus Gent richtig festgestellt hat,

If you have some notions of German , it should be clear now. (a bit late though )

Doesn't matter CG. Btw I wonder where her name "Yamaha-fan" came from: fan of Yamaha as make of motorbikes or musical instruments ?

Apologies to Ms YF

But at least we know one thing - she is correct, women always tell us they are!!!  07 RRS Java Black

YF is smiling - anybody confused that women know something about cars, engines and oils?
Paul: YF is coming from my motor bike racing days a couple of years ago, where I participated in amateur races on Yamaha-bikes to finance my studies.
After the birth of my son, I have given up racing for motherly reasons.
But I still ride a Yamaha motor bike privately for fun and pleasure.
And yes, I am still heavily engaged in legal work for the international motor and oil industry.

Nice hearing from you YF ! And nice to hear that you like motorbikes too.
Actually, I'm a motorbike enthousiast myself as well (Buell-, Ducati- and last but not least Norton-fan...and -owner)

Could you really finance your studies by motorracing ? I assumed this costs
only lots of money.

Not if you have a sponsor or two....!

Best regards YF

As i'm in Romania, 2stroke oil is very difficult to come by - the only one I've found is Jonsered. Would this be suitable by any chance? The label hardly gives any information other than it made in Sweden!

..although I've just noticed I'm 2 months late ...so I'll be lucky if I get an answer

FieryJack let's not exaggerate ... just go to MOL fuel station and buy a bottle of MOL Dynamic Sprint 2T x 1l ~15ron.
I already used 2.5L until now and all it is ok on my HDI engines. right now testing 2T + diesel on 2 PSA engine 1.6HDI + FAP...

Or go to OMV or PetromV and buy 2T-S oil (fully synthetic if you have a DPF filter) or 2T-M oil (mineral - if you don't have a DPF filter).

Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough! Thanks
