That's good to know - what colour is it, by the way?
Red unfortunately - CarLube. Keep the bottle in the car so you can show them if your tank gets dipped!
You can buy low ash mineral two stroke in bulk from Morris Lubricants. a 25 litre barrel works out at £3.60p per litre inc VAT. The automotive stuff is too high spec (semi or fully synth), this agricultural 2 stroke is just the ticket. Ring Free DD 40 2-Stroke Diesel Engine Oil

MOT for us on Friday. Will be interesting to see what the emissions are, compared to last year's results. We've just got through our first 500ml of 2-stroke oil.
I have just up the does on mine slightly to just under 400ml on a full tank ..... engine is real smooth...no smoke...and starts just dandy even in the ice. I am doing this as it seems to drastically reduce diesel clatter on startup ..... which is great with these really cold mornings. Using boggo Sainsbury fuel.

Halfords 2 Stroke Garden Engine Oil 1L mineral oil, low ash, costs £5.99 but ...................
With a Trade card it's £1.50 less so - it's the same price as Tesco!!
Now if Halfords could give Clubcard points as well ........
As was pointed out a while back the real plus point is -
It's not RED it's GREEN Hoorah!

Just an update .... the extra dose to 400ml has definately increased torque output .... one of the test hills I use is a steep 1:10 with sharp bends with no run up etc.... only allowing max speed of 35mph .... normally my TD4 will just go up there in 4th. Now I went up with full tank of fuel and a 250kg trailor ..... wow. Engine very smooth particualrly on start up .... no extra smoke I am very impressed. In winter I am sticking with this!!!
Hi Roshi .... I recon it would be great ..... try 300ml to a full tank .... get std 2 stroke low ash. As it happens I used to have a Saab 93 which had same engine ..... it was very tollerant of vegtable oil in summer ran it on 35% veggie it was great. By the way talk to Rover Ron he does a really good Synergy 2 for this car which gives 180bhp!!!! he recons it is fantastic ... best diesel out. Good luck keep us posted.
ye agree synergy a great bit of kit ran one on a 75 rover cdti bmw engine , was fantastic. great being able to set it where you want it .

Bought some for my company car, started missing a bit. Ran some injector cleaner through it for a few tanks, still the same...
Was well impressed with 2 stroke oil before, so hoping for big things. Was also getting a consistent 63mpg before, so we shall see how that works out
Best part was it was a freebie. Bought it with my weekly shopping. The guy at the till couldnt find the barcode (as it had fallen off the bottle) so just put it through anyway
