[Junaid]

Wat are the advantages of using 2stroke oil mixed in ur diesel tank.does it really help clean and lubricate the injectors.wat 2stroke oil to use and wat ratio.I want to use this stuff in 3ltr d4d but dnt want to end up damaging anything.I hav asked around and nobody has heard of this.any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Ag, it depends who you ask!

I have now used it for for a few years and my truck has over 375 000km already and still going strong - no engine related trouble whatsover!

Used it for about a year on our tractors(8) there was no plus points or negative points that were seen so we stopped using it. Maybe the clever people know more about it.

it won't cause any drastic damage, but you are putting oil where there should be no oil, in effect you are making you vehicle consume 500 ml of oil per tank which means you are going to get carbon build up in your cylinder head and exhaust.
the best way to get an engine to last long is:
Step 1: buy a decent vehicle
Step 2: warm your engine up before you get a lead foot(not at the bottom of your road, once it's gotten to the correct running temp for 5-10 mins
and finally don't try and save money and skip services, because it feels like money going out for nothing!

op die 4x4 community het hulle groot gesprekke oor 2so. jy moet net seker maak jy koop die regte een. van hulle los solids agter na dit ontbrand is.
ek dink dit is n persoonlike keuse of jy wil 2so wil bysit.

In the property game it is albout location, location, location..

In things mechanical it is all about lubrication, lubrication, lubrication!

[JEEPIE]

2 stroke gives better lubrication
but must do mixture right ,

I also use it.I did a bit of reading up and cant say for sure if it helps or not.One thing I wanted to find out was if anybody had BAD experiences.I could find none.
Use only the Jaso-FC spec.Low ash.I use 500ml on 100lt.I use the Sasol and Fuchs Penns brand

very true words .....

and there IS such a thing as BAD location, just as there IS such a thing as BAD lubrication !!


Lubrication is an ART, that keeps the worlds best chemical engineers busy ..... "just adding" some other stuff to the mix has more chance of doing damage than actually helping.


Depending on what the "other stuff" is the damage may be minimal, but still the chances of it improving the original product is virtually impossible.



then rather spend money on more regular oil changes, or a second fuel filter ...

I only use shell nautilus.....no problems

I was advise not to use outboard oil.Only the Jaso-FC spec

2 stroke wont give any performance.

Remember, the diesel pump has working parts in it, gears etc etc. The only lubrication it gets, is from the diesel. But with our diesel being of lower quality than the rest of the world, you dont get the lubrication you need.

200ml per tank is fine.
Even 200ml on every second tank will do the job.

I use it on my trucks.

My one truck is now on 1mil km, same dieselpump, same Injectors. And we put poef wholesale truckstop diesel in everytlime. Not fancy Sasol 50pp bla bla bla

On 900 000km I had the injectors tested. I got the ok and I slapped it back in

I even run my Hilux on normal 500pp truckstop cheap diesel
