No, I just have 3 family cars. Laughing Two are without DPF, my Freely and the VW Passat and the Focus with DPF. That is why I am asking if the 100% syntetic FD is ok to be used in all the cars.

I also have 4 tractors, 2 Fendt's and 2 Case. Those are the ones who will really use the oil. Considering that the Fendts have a 340 litre fuel tank, 2 litre of the 2SO will go there.
I use about 60.000 liters of diesel per year, the 208 litre 2SO will only be good for 34.000 litres.

When I first started my farm, I used 2litre of regular engine oil in the diesel. I don't know if it done any good, but this was recomended to me by an equipment dealer.

You DO have a fleet! I cannot comment on use of the FD spec though. I am sure some expert will be along soon... 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

It is not recommended to use FD grade with cars with DPF as its 100% Fully Syn' . You need according to Yamaha-Fan grade FB or FC. In any case JASO FD is very expensive to be used on non Non DPF vehicles. Yamaha Fan seems to be saying FC Semi Syn is ok to use. Up the Cobblers

I have EXOl semi synthetic 2so JASO FD which I believe is ok to use.Costs about £3.50/litre bought in 25l quantities.

As long as its Semi Syn and you have a DPF it maybe ok - even so FD is too high a spec but the price you quote /ltr
is cheaper than ASDA and WILKO! FC . Mind you if yr car has no DPF .....then perhaps EXOL FC is cheaper Whistle Up the Cobblers

From the research on the a2oc forum semi-synth is the way to go for best results. I have inadvertantly just bought some mineral 2so and it's not quite as smooth running. eh tu?

England 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Auto Zermatt Silver

Can I be a real pain and ask a couple of questions to simplify things.
1. I have a 2009 XS 2.2 litre Freelander 2. I don't know if its got a DPF or not. So has it got one?
2. Which grade of 2SO should I use?
3. What is the recommended doseage per tank full?
4. Do I pour it in an emptily ish fuel tank then fill up to make sure it is mixed?

Sorry for the questions but I cannot afford premium diesel anymore at over £1.54 a litre and I want to try the 2SO as an alternative. Ralph

No, you shouldn't have a DPF. Run your finger around the tailpipe, if it's sooty then you haven't.
330ml per tank full us fine and yes, I always put the oil in before filling up.
FB is fine for you, those with DPF need use FC.
Hope that helps Thumbs Up

Wizking, your a gem.
I have got a sooty pipe and I am now off to buy the FB version ready for my trip to the bank to borrow enough money to fill up the car. Razz Ralph

I thought the DPF was fitted in conjunction with the introduction of the 'e' stop-start spec in 2009? If not that is great as it hopefully means I can also blank off the EGR without affecting the ECU programming! eh tu?

I don't seem to read hardly any posts on here about people putting 2T oil in their cars with DPFs. Mostly only people who recommend what oil to use in them.

So....

Who out there is adding 2T oil to cars WITH DPFs?

You have to remember that there are people from Land Rover (Liam and Kelly) who monitor this forum. It could be argued that 2T oil is an unauthorised addition to fuel so people with warranties may not want to mention that they use it.

Just want it known that I have never used 2SO. Someone has been writing here using my name. (That should sort out the warranty problem)
