Thread: Adding 2 stoke oil to your diesel

Having read the link but not being that technecial I'd be interested in members views on adding 2stroke to fuel in a TD5 motor.

Look forward to responses

Is not a TD5 virtually identical to a TD4 but with 5 instead of 4 cylinders

Hmm, if we are talking of the kinematic viscosity of the oil, it should be stokes (same word for singular and plural as it's named after George Stokes).

As it's usually measured in centistokes, wouldn't 2 stokes oil be pretty viscous?

Where's Isuzurover when you need him?

Has anyone tried this, I would be very interested to hear

At the rate of 1:200 I don't think that is an issue

Hi all,

I'm going to give this a crack............300ml to 80lt in my 300tdi disco, it sounds like it can only help any diesel engine run cleaner and smoother.

Regards to all Jim.

Love your wit Ron! I think it went over most people's heads. It should Always be written with a capital S. And that is Sir George Stokes - probably one of the only worthwhile products of Ireland - apart from U2 and The Pogues of course. And yes, 2 St (Stokes) oil would be about an order of magnitude higher than diesel fuel

I suspect that adding 2-stRoke oil increases the lubricity of the diesel by a slight amount. In Germany (and I think France), all diesel now contains a minimum of 5% Bio to improve lubricity. (Edit - just read the thread and it says much the same). However, running B10 or B20 should have a similar effect.
