Diesel owners that add 2T oil to fuel

[dvldoc]

that is damn cheap!!! 2t runs almost double that price!!! Where duty free is that? Puregold?

No it was not pure gold, It's across the street from it on Clark, The place with the all the furniture and lighting. Yeah I bought everyone they had on the self when I saw that price.

Is this ok to use on a 4D56 engine from a 201 Mitsubishi Adventure?

[dvldoc]

Let's be clear on this, It will make any mechanical injection diesel run better. They were designed for the high sulfer diesel of the past if you don't like your rig to rattle like a box of rocks is in the engine all the time add it.

For the Philippines it is pretty much good for any diesel, except BMW, or Mercedes and the newer rovers (high end stuff) with extreamly high rail pressures and super advanced piezoelectric injectors. (Example these cars are making 2000bar/29000psi of fuel pressure vs a 3.0 D4D which is only 1350bar/19580psi so this could cause a problem if your thicking things up)

Works fine on D4D engines like the Fortuner with no issues, Would probably solve a bunch of issues with the 2.5 D4D as well.

No real testing shows it causes any issues to any vehicle, the 2007 and up thing is a recomendation ie the word (may cause harm). And since the CRDI sold there are not the super high tech ones I would not hesitate on using it.

But if you got a non common rail diesel (Any) you should not hesitate to use it. Once you start you won't stop putting it in.

to add the 2.4li puma engine of the land rover is a sister engine of the duratorq ford engine. Not sure if that is the high pressure variety. So you guys might want to be careful with those engines too

Any new users of 2T with results?

[bertzus]

just tried it two days ago on a 1990 4d56t. so far so good. less engine noise, less vibration and smooth engine response.

I agree with this. I used it on a long trip with 2T - sounds like the newer diesel engines

Finally found an FC rated 2T oil; Castrol Activ. I bought the premium one for P250/ltr while the Activ one only is P233/ltr. Both are FC rated but since the difference in only P17, I choose the one with high thermal capacity. I did notice that the engine is much quiter and responsive. FC seems to be just about a bit better but not by much.

I'll definitely continue in doing this to see if there is any other benefit.

[dvldoc]

I guess a big issue there is many of the brands don't have and FC rating stated on them. That big list I put at the start of the tread should have almost every brand carried there and it's rating just to make it easier for you to find a low cost one.

Just remember don't use synthetic 2t.

is it better than adding biodiesel? i currently add 500ml to a full tank of diesel (65L for hiace) 2L engine.

so i just go to petron or shell and ask for 2T additive ?

I used the bio-diesel additive before in my 4d56 Turbo Strada but sadly the shop here does ot sell it anymore I forgot the brand, it is nice indeed. It was made in Quezon Province pa nga.

But the alternatie pala was this 2T oil.

Biodiesel works well. But from what I understand the biodiesel there really is not high of a percentage of bio anything. only 1% to 2% Coconut Methy Ester blend so is rated as B1 and B2 for biodiesel. So the rest is regular diesel.

I did not notice the big difference vs the 2T at all. I use Flying V biodiesel for the most part when I am there.

It definitely cannot compete with how much better the 2T makes the engine run.

As an addendum to what dvldoc said, once you open the package, the shelf life shortens to about 2-3 years AFAIK. But if properly sealed and stored, maybe the 5 year shelf life still holds.

[je_maza]

pwede ba ito sa bagong engine ng grand starex?

Medyo high-powered kasi CRDi ng Hyundai, baka hindi advisable.

baka expired na yung nabili ko?kasi ang mura....

any comments po.......

thanks

[alwayz_yummy]

tried sa canter namin... skeptical driver ko...sabi ko pour mo 100ml muna sa tank then pa-diesel ka... 300, so mga 6L ata un...

pagbalik, gumanda daw ang tunog ng makina at ung hatak pumino ang tunog... next fuel stop ung remaining 100ml ihahalo.. ung mumuahang 2T lang tig-22 pesos lang...

May date of manufacture ata yan sa bottle sir, check ko yung sa akin. Or baka naman repacked yan? May seal naman ba yung nabili mo?

Mas malabnaw talaga sa Shell kasi FB lang rating noon. FC itong Castrol Activ 2T.
