Diesel owners that add 2T oil to fuel

[rac98]

Thanks rac98.
what's the most commonly used 2t here? i bought both petron - blue bottle and shell -yellow bottle. looked at their respective sites (shell philippines for shell) and apparently, shell has a synthetic base fluid for its mineral 2t. Pero sa bottle naman, walang naka lagay, mineral lang. I know people are using it here. Not sure pero may potential adverse effects ba kaya 'to in the long run from having a synthetic base? Sa petron naman, im confident the blue is good to go. Pero from their site, 4 pala 2t nila. The green one is fc pero semi synth so i'll stay away from that. Anyone ever try the grey one? Parang concentrated kase you only use half the regular amount tapos fb+ daw. No mention of a synthetic base or being semi synth so i assume pwede rin 'to.
Sorry for all the questions. I'm eager to try this (today kung pwede) pero ang haba na ng thread. Sobrang layo ko pa....

He uses shell, rated fb. I also use the same for my old school rig. For my gas fed car I use ptt 2t which is fc rated. Ptt is also good kaso mas mahal to use when the ratio is 200:1.

Btw, caltex is also good. Mabango ang exhaust hehehe.

Thanks! im interested to try caltex din kase low ash daw. Cguro kung wala talaga akong mahanap na fc for our gas cars, i'll give that a go.
Linagyan ko na kagabi ng 400ml of shell 2t ang pajero. My tank was still indicating full sa guage when I poured it in. from the there,i drove about 20mins and refilled P100 worth of diesel just to give the tank a quick slush. My guesstimate is i had about 85L in the tank after the fill up. Not quite the recommended 200:1 ratio but close i suppose... i only drove 20 something kms since pouring it in with minimal to moderate traffic, and, left it running for about 15mins outside my gf's house last night so wala pa akong na feel. I'll give shell a chance and use it again on my next fill up then i'll try caltex. Try ko yung petron blue sa isang diesel namin.
Question, i know it's best to pour it in during fill up for optimal dilution but pwede ba rin sa full na na tank? Cguro drive it around to somewhat shake the tank or let it sit overnight for it to mix on its own?

[rac98]

Me, I sometimes pour the 2t after filling. That's when I forget to bring along 2t. Ill just put it when I reach home from the gas station. The 2t will easily mix with the diesel. A little shake as when you drive around will do.

[Rethinker]

Thanks again. Im now at the 100km mark. Not sure if i feel anything. Parang smoother ang acceleration nya. It appears to not roar as loud usual when taking off but that's about it. No difference in idling so far.

Does the new pajero have a DPF or none? If it does, make sure to use jaso FC sir. Otherwise jaso FB is ok.

[Rethinker]

I have no idea... The 2011-current NW model no longer has one. Big question is, is this the same one theyre selling here?. Looks the same but i have no way to verify if it is infact the same, esp where it counts... Under the hood. Anyone have any insight here?

Question: we have an 07 fortuner and an 01 trooper. Im worried about the 2t loosening dirt, thereby, clogging the filter or God forbid, reach the injector. What's the best way to go about this? Constant fuel filter checks? Anong intervals?

[rac98]

^^ before adding 2t, it is recommended that you change fuel filter. Then change the filter after 5000 kilometers or earlier for peace of mind. IMO, this is especially so in older vehicles because of dirt accumulating in the fuel line and the tank.

[Rethinker]

Thanks bud! Do you recommend purging sometime after the filter changes? I read the whole thread and some guys a few pages back were discussing it. Atleast one of them, i think, recommended it.
I have to verify this but i think the trooper had its system purged when i took it in for service about 6 months ago. The fortuner, however, has not had anything more than a fuel filter change.

[rac98]

Have not tried purging my old school truck. Only filter change...

[rac98]

I will change my fuel filter after a few thousand kilometres to see how much sludge is in it.

Significant naman ang 6 decibels di ba? Hindi ko kasi maquantify kung gano kalakasang 6db.

[testament11]

6db is already noticeable by our own ears as long as same conditons ang before and after.

Hmmmm, how come ang mahal ng 2T ng Seaoil. 1 bottle is 40 petot, while Shell 2T is only 27 petot. What's special sa 2T nila?

[timo07]

Yes, given the same measurement condition, 6dB is quite significant. I'm just in doubt of the phone app, as it is obvious that a mobile phone is not designed for measuring sound levels. The app is merely simulating the function. I have a similar phone app and the reading is more sensitive (spiking higher) when compared to a real Sound level meter.

Well, even without the sound meter, imho and per my observation the engine sounds quieter in my rïg...


And yes, di ko rin maintindïhan why seaoil's 2t is more expensive.. pero shell's 2t is more expensive when you buy it in a gas station than in an automotive supply shop. Wala pa ako nakikita na seaoil sa mga latter shop.

[Rethinker]

Question... Is it ok to add a little more 2T into the mix? I filled up about 45L of vpower diesel yesterday and added approx. 220ml of petron powerburn, to a tank previously filled with vpower and caltex 2t. Sobrang pangit ng result. My car has an 88L tank and i was thinking i'd top off with 100ml of caltex 2t in the hopes of calming things down. Ok lang kaya?

[allan23]

May nakagamit na kaya sa inyo ng Raimol 2T? wala kasi rating. Mura lang 100php per liter.

[homework]

napansin ko lang sa shell 2t (decarbonize) sa caltex mabango yon lang napansin ko...

[Dongskie]

Will try this on my 2C Tamaraw FX.
