I've just passed 191k miles on the clock.
Started putting TSO in at 171k, roughly every other fill.
No problems. Still quieter and smoother.
Don't know if it's cleaner yet - will be taking some parts off to look this summer to see if has made any difference internally to before i started.

Thanks for that useful feedback folks.

I have a run to Bruges and back planned next week (reward / bribe to the missus for letting me buy the car Smile ) so I will probably give this a go once that trip is over - don’t really want anything to add to the current list of unknowns of a new-to-me car on the other side of the channel.

Many thanks again.

United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4_e HSE Manual Zermatt Silver

I started putting 2-stroke oil in my daughters FL2 2.2 TD4 about a year ago after we bought it as I accept the arguments about the impact on engine wear of the modern fuels. I thought it seemed quieter (less rattle on acceleration). She then went away to university and filled up herself for a few months without 2 stroke oil. I forgot all about it until a few weeks ago when I was investigating the annoying top end rattle on acceleration. I restarted dosing with 2 stroke oil and it has made a noticeable difference to the engine rattling. Even my daughter noticed, unprompted, despite the constant music emitting from the wireless.

I have not tested mpg and it had a very healthy MOT emissions test result. It has done 160k miles.

just read the last post - 93 pages!! - anyway I ran 2 stroke in my AFN 1.9 99, engine passat - when i first put it in i thought the engine had stalled at the first set of lights it ran that much smother. I did also notice an increase in MPG. I dont use it now i have a more modern diesel ASB 3.0 07, engine audi -but i do go for top grade BP stuff. Stewart

Coming back after more than 8 years with some updates. I still have my Pajero, now with 113 000 kms, was adding oil for 103 000 kms with NO issues. Still waiting for all issues I've been warned about.

Alright guys, he talked about Brazil and I use a translator, I'll leave my humble contribution with a link to efficiency tests related to 2-stroke diesel lubrication Thumbs Up

today I have a discovery 3 with 280000 km and I had a big problem adding a very famous additive here in Brazil, https://www.actioil.com.br/, which resulted in the replacement of my 6 injection nozzles, I'm starting with 2-stroke oil

United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Baltic Blue

well my sprinter successfully managed 376,000 miles in 6 years, not a single issue with injectors, EGR or DPF ( except when 1 company filled with non merc oil ! turned out it was supposed to be an equivalent ) never trust cross reference oils etc.
Anyway always fired on the button and still achieved 39.8 mpg on all its long runs, mostly a minimum of 560 miles a day.
I put it down to every tank fill had TSO added Jaguar x-type sport gone
Jaguar x-type 2.2d sport one of my best cars ever sadly gone
Freelander 2 GS auto 2008 most unreliable ever ! gladly gone
Freelander 2 GS manual 2013 only time will tell !

Thats brilliant.
Shows that running diesels with quality oil for long periods at a steady speed does minimal harm. Its stop/starting and thrashing them when cold that causes the wear.

Of course if its a poorly designed engine in the first place then no amount of care will prevent things like crankshaft failure. Jules
