Is anyone able to give an update regarding the Carlube oil as my local factor sells this too?

Thanks,

Nigel.

I would be nice to know from those who've used it:

- How long you've been using the 2T oil (time and distance)
- What kind you are using (with image if you can to avoid confusion)
- Benifits/drawbacks you've noticed. (eg mpg, noice, tremors, dsf, starting issues etc...)

That way you get a picture of longterm usage and a more sure way of selecting the correct additive.

Also feedback from those who stopped using it. What happened then?

Nothing will happen, if you stop using 2-T-oil. Engine noise will increase slightly, fuel consumptiion will go up a little, and wear and tear of the high pressure engine components will start. That is all.

Nigel207: your choosen 2-T oil conforms to JASO FB, so it is mineral, which is perfectly ok for your engine without DPF (diesel particulate filter).

I've read this thread with interest, and would like to try it. One thing I've not seen is any information about the risks involved when the vehicle has a catalytic converter. Is low ash 2 stroke oil safe in such situations, or am I likely to find that I need to replace (expensive!) the cat?

This thread is for diesel owners and diesels do not have cats. Mr. Green

Apparently diesels do have cats this has been discussed before, see the engine specs in the LR brochure. Not a full cat as on a petrol engine but a simplified one??? At work

Big Cry I wish you were correct, but I can assure you that my Fabia VRS is both diesel and does have a cat. It is a simpler one than those fitted to petrol cars (two stage instead of three?), but it is there....

Don't you worry, the addition of the recommended dosis of 2-T oil to the ulsd-diesel will NOT affect the diesel catalysator. No reports whatsoever on this issue!

Thanks for the information. I will get myself some low ash two stroke oil and try it the next time I fill up.

I will report the results once I've had a chance to run it for a while.

Would someone just run through the reason for not using a synth. oil such as Stihl ?
I would`ve thought it ideal because of usage ratio is 50% less than normal two stroke oil ie in strimmers 50:1 against 25:1 and has very low deposits after burning. Confused

- Mobil Extra 2T Semi Syntetic -JASO FC; ISO E-GC, E-GD; API TC; TISI.
- ~200ml 2T and tank full ( 66l ) with disesel E4 from Mol - Romania.

At car 2 I don't have a log with cold engine starting but I have few logs when driving, I will compare in time after I will use 2T more.
