+1, same observation with my 8 year old vios (130k mileage) (1NZFE). I noticed mine was idling very low around 500~700 rpm (digital tachometer so can't really place a definite figure) with none of the noise and vibration. Tried testing not placing 2T but the engine noise returned and the engine feels more sluggish. After that been using it for around 7 months with no adverse effect except placing too much 2T.
locally available po ba yan? pede kaya sa 2004 kia pregio ko yan kapag nag 2T ako? curious lang..at hoping na pedeng makatulong sa paghaba ng buhay ng pregio ko ..8yrs na ;-)
Sino po ba ang unang nadiscover ng 2t as additive sa diesel? Ang husay!!! Naging magkasing bilis ang start ng td27 at 4ja1 nung naglagay ako nito!!! Naging mas smooth at responsive un makina.
Shell 2t jaso fb ang ginamit ko dun sa 2 engine
Dvldoc, I got a question... Which one would recommend of the 2?
1. regular usage of 2T on our diesel tanks or
2. liquimoly diesel purge
Thanks![]()
As of writing, super ordinary 2T lang gamit ko, yung P110/liter na ginagamit ng tricycles (will post the brand pag nasilip ko). FB rated. So far so good!
Will you sirs recommend that I use 2t on my 3 months old 2.2 ranger?
Actually, I have also been wondering about Shell 2T with decarbonizer. But I remember Dvldoc saying this
Also, we use 2T for its lubricating properties. 2T is designed especially for 2 stroke engines so any additives included in it is designed to help primarily 2 stroke engines and not 4 stroke engines. The additive in Shell 2T might help our engines but, it can also damage it. Just to be on the safe side I veer away from any 2T oil with any additives in it. Unfortunately, I noticed Shell 2T has one. Just my 2 cents.
BTW, I previously used Castrol 2T now I'm using Caltex 2T (I was pleasantly surprised to see that the two looks the same except that Caltex is much thicker)

Both, The diesel purge is to get the carbon build up out of the system, 2T is for lubrication it does clean but nowhere near as a purge additive will.
I just wanna share my exp with usin 2T with my JDM Hi-ace. In terms of noise reduction I would say that there's an improvement which is really noticeable specially when I turn off the engine. I dunno about the vibration coz I set the idle as low as possible around 650 to 700 approx, so may vibrations talaga akong nararamdaman. Pero at 800rpm pino talaga yung andar, engine is 1KZ-TE. My emission test last September is really low, the testing facility did the test thrice, I guess they can't believe their result. the van was tested last time at C5, f*cing revving the engine at 4000rpm, I was about to get pissed off but they just let me go, seems like I passed their stupid emission test.
I dunnon if this is becoz of the JDM design or the 2T working. I've been using it for more than a year now since I bumped into this forum. No negative effects so far.
