2 stroke oil in D4D

2T oil leaves ash behind when burnt. Excess use will leave hard bits on the piston, combustion chamber and injector tips. Even if you use "ashless" oils such as ester type full synthetics you still get some deposits. These oils still have a petroleum oil component (group 3 oil - claimed to be synthetic) to dissolve the additive blended in the oil. I use these oils in my brush cutters, chainsaws and mower which get a lot of use. I'd go through 1L of oil 12 months. When I change plugs they have less crud on them than when using mineral oil but there is still carbon on the plug, exhaust port and piston top.

Burning diesel and engine oil creates soot and ash also, but the additives package in the oil will scavenge these and hold them in solution until used up, at which time the soot will also start to clump and cause the same problems you mention, 2T or not. I can't see that 1ml per 200ml of diesel will make that much difference, IMHO. The choice is always up to the individual, however I have not seen proof of any damaging effect of such a low concentration of 2T.

"Energy Polariser"!

And it wasnt the carby - it was installed on the firewall if I am not mistaken. Best mate has one on his VK Calais Director....

Including handwritten instructions from Brocky on how to install !!

These fuel systems have been designed to run on the lower lubrication of the 'now days' diesel. Adding 0.1% of a 2 stroke oil will bearly change the composition of the diesel. The quieting down of the injectors I would assume is because someone is running a lot more and I believe that the greatest impact would be from changing the Viscosity of the fuel.
A colder climate is going to do the same thing. I haven't seen any adverse effects to the fuel system from running the VERY LOW concentrations of this stuff, but I'd also state that we cannot tell the difference in performance either. Personally, I'd be more worried about the CATS in the exhaust and adding more shit thats going through the EGR system. You're adding material thats not meant to completely burn which means you're adding 'density' to the exhaust...
anyway, as always, its a personal choice thing.

Come out and say it.............he's a polluter.

Just quietly; I think he has a lot to answer for in regards to climate change.....

Have been using 2T in the old 1KZ banger for the last 120,000k's and it definitely is quieter in the fuel pump area. Leave it out and the rattle return with a vengeance real quick.
Don't think I would use it in the D4D though, but wouldn't have one anyway after all the shit one reads about all brands these days of the common rail designs.
Have 200,000 k's up and at least 100000 of that with a 2 1/2 ton van behind.. Will rebuild the motor if I happen t outlive it..
