Re: Injector cleaner update

Lozzer there is a huge thread on a 4wd site about the benefits of 2 cycle oil and thousands of people use it without any negative side effects, especially when using injector type cleaners in diesels as they are primarily aggressive solvents which almost completely destroy lubricity.
Also remember to use 2 stroke oil designed for water cooled engines ( outboard motor ) as air cooled is designed for different combustion temps and dynamics and may not give the benefits sought ( superior lubricity ) good luck andy

Re: Injector cleaner update

Geez thanks Andy for putting me onto the hours of reading available on the topic
Just been through about two hundred posts.
Consensus seems to be that engines run quieter and sometimes smoother but havent come across much saying that injectors are kept cleaner.
Do you think the 2 stoke offers anything more than running straight SVO would offer in regard to these areas?

Re: Injector cleaner update

Lozzer I think the benefit of the 2 stoke oil is when you make your own injector cleaner, or are running dino diesel, veg oil and bio have excellent lubricity to start with but veg oil as you know needs to be combusted at high temps, the reason i only run it in summer on highway trips, & i think most veggies are prone to carbon/ coke issues more so than bio blokes.If your running good veg oil or bio this would not need any extra lubrication, and 2 stroke oil ain't cheap I am not fully confident with the blending of veg oil with petroleum products something i will need to learn more about. you been doing this a long time so you are more conversant with it than i am. kind regards andy
