2 Stroke Oil in your Diesel

patbhoy · 30-09-2010, 08:56

I was reading a thread on another 4x4 forum (I wont mention its name, its against the rules).
It was regarding adding two stroke oil to your fuel (diesel), its claimed that it has the same effect as more expensive fuel additives.
Owners who have tried it claim that the most noticable difference was on how quiet there truck was running, others said their trucks produced less smoke and it also improved but only slightly their fuel consumption and performance.
It also helps to lubricate your fuel pump and injectors due to the removal of sulphur by the fuel manufacturers.
Has anyone here heard of this or better still tried it and if so would you recommend it.

I've not tried 2 stroke oil but do run veggy or bio fuel.
The engine is certainly quieter than when on diesel.
Extra mpg is bound to be placebo effect, you just feel better so chill a bit on the loud pedal

Have thought about svo but think its almost as dear to buy as diesel so dont really see the point.

makeitfit · 30-09-2010, 12:06

It needs to be below 80p for me to buy it as I'm running on Bio at the mo

Price for the last lot has gone up a lot

now paying 82.5p a litre

Considerably less than 1.20 at the pumps doh
Love it

Makro and Booker usually around 85p a litre I think.

at bookers

I use two stroke oil in my R3mR with regular diesel I add 1 Litre per tankful of fuel using the cheapest oil I can get from Wilko or Morrissons. The slight increase in mpg 2-3 mpg helps pay for the oil.
I think the slight increase in mpg is down to the raising of compression due to better piston ring lubrication etc. Definitely quiter and starts better most noticeably in winter. Used to use it in all my cars over the last 40 years just stopped when cats became standard.

A mate of mine recommended it to me (an Industrial Chemist) he used to work for Lubrizol Internation Labs and now works in a very specialised oil additative environment.

Oilboy at the local Mens Club ? ( I was gonna post a pic but someone's bound to cop the hump

Does that mean it's not advisable if the car has a cat?

I put 2 stroke oil, petrol and diesel redex, degreaser, meths, parrafin, and all sorts of other sh*te in mine.
Redex is the favourite coz it turns the SVO red then the fitter at work thinks I'm nicking the red diesel and gets the hump. I like giving him the hump because he's a pratt. He's a pratt because he was going to put GL4 oil in my diffs. Pratt.
