Not bothering adding the oil even with its benefits as YF has fully explained.

I don't think i will have the car long enough for it reap the benefits and gain a few more years of engine life etc

After reading everything that was discussed about adding 2-Stroke Oil (especially what Yamaha-Fan had to say) I've decided to add the oil from day one. Therefore I cannot say that I've noted improvements but I like how the engine sounds. She started great even when very cold (minus 17 C over the night and minus 8 when I started her). Have kept her outside and she statde better then my Peugeot 407.
Hope nothing changes.

NPinks your reason for ignoring 2-T oil is understood and accepted. But maybe you should also think of your contribution to the air pollution theme, to which you can greatly contribute if you use 2-T oil.

This is only a suggestion to consider.

not yet

I was completely pursuaded about the benefits of adding 2 stroke oil to diesel as described by the very knowledgeable YF. However, I remain twitchy about how LR would respond if there were any subsequent engine problems.

Hence I've decided not to add it yet. Life is not a dress rehearsal!

Nick Jan, I can assure you that I have not come accross any (legal) case in the past 10 years where a car manufacturer or dealer could prove that the addition of 2-T oil has been the cause of the defect under judgement.
Besides this, the homeopathic dosis of 2-T oil, once diluted with the diesel, cannot be identified even under laboratory conditions (as long as the 2-T oil is not coloured).

Regards to all on that poll!
Official publications on the effect of 2T-oil are to be available till now?....
Could you provide some YF?
Otherwise it is a matter of belief or disbelief....sounds like religion....?
No offence meant!

Have not heard about this thread until today Regardless of any benefits it may have on the environment or engine wear, if Land Rover suggested that FL2 owners added oil, then I would. As they haven't I don't see the point in doing so, especially on a new car under guarantee. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Nope, me not adding 2T-oil, FL2 has a 3 year warranty so if anything goes wrong it gets fixed for free. And as I will only have the car for 3 years before I change it I won't benefit from the extra expense. ______________________
