2stroke oil in tank!

I've seen many posts about using 2stroke but everyone recommends mineral oil, so I was just wondering if semi-synthetic was any good as we use loads of it at work so would save me buying lol

Any advice would be appreciated
Cheers Dan

Why?

Apparently makes them run better!

Dan

This topic has been covered a multitude of times and with vastly different opinions. My own is that I don't see the point and if it was intended to run on diesel mixed with 2 stroke then land rover would advise it. Anyway that's just my opinion, if you search you'll find numerous threads on it.

What engine do you have?

300tdi and they all say mineral is best but don't use fully synthetic never owt about semi lol

Cheers Dan

Bung it in, you'll not notice any difference but if it makes you happy.

The 200/300 tdi engines were designed years ago when diesel had a high sulphur content, today,s fuel has low sulphur and doe's not lubricate the fuel system as well so we add some oil

So has anyone's injection pump failed due to inadequate lubrication when running on normal modern diesel?

I use this stuff and works nice and do see a mpg improvement of 1-2mpg on a long haul, better acceleration. 200k+ on the beast
