I take my advice from someone who is a Dr of Chemistry and has spent a lifetime in fuel and lubricant development for brands that are respected the world over. I have taken his advice on this subject as a result of which I will not be using 2T oil. Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery!

@ Avtur: could you tell us why he/she advised against it ?

from Mopar1973Man's link :-

"The 2 cycle oil concept was developed for LSD (Low Sulfur Diesel) designed trucks. (Pre 2007 model year)

DON'T USE 2 CYCLE OIL IN A ULSD DESIGNED VEHICLE!
DON'T USE 2 CYCLE OIL IN A VEHICLE WITH A DPF!
SUGGESTED NOT USE 2 CYCLE OIL IN A VEHICLE WITH A CAT!"


The fl2 has a cat, many euro versions also have a dpf

Today I found in my local STATOIL a bottle of Two Stroke Oil.
2-TWay. Low Smoke. (Bottle with 200 ml).
API TC, ISO EGD, JASO FC, ROTAX 253 - It looks out to be the best of the best. Of course, produced by the Norwegian Statoil.

I have to date not begun to use 2-stroke oil, have not decided yet. LR Freelander2 2,2 Td4 HSE manuel Stornaway Grey (Metallic) & Ebony Black Leather & Sun/Moon-roof & Bi-Xenon & Roof Rails & Tow bar & Body side rubbing strips & Cold climate pack & Privacy glass & NavTeq .

As avtur, I will NOT be adding 2T oil to my diesel. I am unconvinced that forum debating about adding 2T oil (or what spec. motor oil we should be using) can come to anything but confusion in making a decision to or not to add.

Regardless as to what claims are made by forum members, which may sound very logical, I still cannot accept that if it was meant that we should add oil to our diesel then Land Rover would insist that we do just that.

Additionally, the website that CG posted it clearly states at the top DON'T USE 2 CYCLE OIL IN A VEHICLE WITH A DPF!
My FL2 has a DPF so that is clearly another reason not to add. Your FL2's may have a CAT, so that is another reason to forget the 2T oil debate immediately.

Lastly, why on earth should so many forum members doubt Land Rover  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

As I said earlier in the thread ....

"...... 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)...............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!

Here is an amateur-expert who also has knowledge about oil. He calls himself "Bob, the oil guy".
I'm not as interested in the topic, so I have not read what he writes --- there is too much to read through.
Maybe someone is interested, so here it is...................................

@ bjartin:

thanks for the link but there's no search function and so far I couldn't find anything about 2 stroke oil.

So are we now saying, that because we have a cat we cant use 2T oil

I had a look at the "bob-is-the-oil-guy" site: many statements but very few well-grounded clarifications...
On the internet one can find opposite opinions about any subject. If those opinions are not even justified, it is no more but a waste of time to even read them.

I would like to recommend all unbelievers to read the contributions of especially Yamaha-fan again as she put lots of work in giving detailed technical justifications for her point of view. Untill now, I din't find technical explanation that took the edge of her arguments. The opposite is true.
