Said all of this YF. Red on dipping is red. But on further testing the 2T oil would show.

I did not have any problems starting the engine while outside temperature was -26C. Filled about 3 times since then, temperatures still below 0 - no issues at all. |

There are two different things: - 2T oil is for improving the diesel fuel's lubricity and - Castrol TDA is for lowering the diesel fuel's gelification temperature. Both can be used, in the same time. |

Yes, I agree, Alex, that Castrol-TDA-additive is more versatile since it is a product specially designed for all types of diesel engines. In TDA, 'anti-gel' characteristics are paired with cleaning and lubrication functions. As for costs comparison btw. oil and TDA, they seem to be equal. In another thread, I have recently found a statement of yamaha fan suggesting for 2 stroke-oikl improvement in terms of diesel viscosity as well and as long I am not able to find TDA I will be using 2-stroke-oil. Thanx, Alex! |

I strongly believe that Castrol's TDA diesel-additive will not meet the qualities of a good 2-T oil addition as long as this 2-T oil meets the JASO "FC" standard. From the legal point please note that Castrol's TDA additive is a fuel additive which most car manufacturers do not appove of, whereas 2-T oil does not count as additive as 2-T oil is in its chemical consistence differently cracked and improved mineral oil. The addition of 2-T oil to the diesel in the recommended dosis cannot be analysed under normal circumstances as the 2-T oil emulgates with the diesel oil. This emulgation will lead to the superb benefits of adding 2-T oil, such as increased CETAN value, cleaning capabilities, increased lubrication and, last but not least, increase of viscosity.

I have a new vehicle with the Mercedes OM642 V6 Diesel , the engine Mercedes used in the test from Paris to Bejing. Replacement engine cost is £17000 + fitting. I am friends with an honest Mercedes Dealer , hence the info.

Aside the fact that you are another happy user of 2T oil, quite some frustrations are steaming out from between your lines...

Roughneck6zero - I have just noticed this thread and have read the contents with interest. I note that you live around Ulster so will be subject to similar products to me here in Perthshire. Can you advise what specific product you have been using and, in relation to a full tank of diesel in the F2, how much of the 2 stroke you are using (I know you referred to 200:1 in your previous thread, but to be honest that means nothing to me!) |

This is a compilation of Y fans best bits (And your answer MacW is 330ml to a full tank )
