    Not sure if this has been discussed before, but I'm curious - if adding 2T is so beneficial to most diesel engines in the country, why hasn't it been added yet as an additive by the fuel companies?

    Kumbaga, same with the Khaos supercharger and other miracle products, if they're so good how come the big companies aren't clamoring over it?

    modern diesel engines, with crdi high rail pressure. The need for ULSD - ultra low sulfur diesel for these engines is a must.
    high sulfur will foul the fuel metering.
    high sulfur is detrimental to the life of injectors, cat con, dpf. thats why some car companies were hesitant to introduce their euro IV compliant diesels. aside from dirty diesels here.
    to meet the environmental restrictions.
    2% biodiesel as shown in page 1 of this thread is beneficial to diesel engines as for lubricating properties.
    old school diesel were designed before LSD low sulfur diesel. if im not mistaken. so adding 2T is awesome.

    So how come Montero/Strada/Everest/Ranger/Fortuner/Hilux owners are claiming improvements from adding 2T? These are all CRDi vehicles..

    Regarding the detrimental effect, how long exactly before these manifest? I've heard that some CRDi users have been adding 2T for years with no problems..

    It was posted here before that there is a max rail pressure which will suit using 2t oil on CRDi's. Kaya BMW, Merc, Audi etc (high-end euro cars) must not use 2t oil. Dvldoc has a good explanation on these afaik in the first few pages.

    afaik, jaso FB rating ang recommended na gamitin kasi mineral based siya. higher ratings are either synthetic na or mataas na ang ash content.

All results are positive so far. I've read that it is recommended to change the fuel filter after using 2t, my question is do i still need to replace mine even though im not showing any signs of clogged filter? Normally, based on your experience after you started using 2t how long would it take for it to clean the entire fuel lines and injectors? Thanks in advance!
    It is recommended that you change fuel filter after using 2t. Dirt in the fuel lines and fuel tank become loose when you add 2t and might end up in the filter or worse might escape and goes to the injectors. It is safer to have a new filter, imo. But if you are due for an oil change very soon, then it might be more practical to change the fuel filter then.

    Mga Gurus, so what FC 2T non synthetic oil "brands" are the best to use for our diesel cars since FC is low ash & has a cleanest burning for diesel fuel?

    mas mababa ash content ng JASO FC afaik, ang di lang rekomendado ni doc yung pagiging synthetic nito at sa opinyon nya maaaring mag-iwan ito sa mga injectors o nozzles. sa ibang forum anumang pinaka cheap na mineral based 2T ang mainam. advantage lang ng FC ay low ash formulation nito.

    Unang Caraga lang? Natanggal lang yung carbon deposits sa makina mo. Try 3-4 full tank dapat mawala rin yan.

    Nangyari din sakin yan the first few tankloads ko.....from black to gray ang smoke nun. tinuloy tuloy ko lang then nagclear na sya. could be the 2t doing the initial decarbonization.

    check mo rin filter malamang malilinis din ang fuel tank tsaka fuel lines.

    Baballik na uli ako sa Shell V-Power Nitro plus Diesel at Shell 2T. Sinubukan ko ang Petron diesel max at 2T nila, observe ko lang mas mausok at mas makalog ang makina, parang yung time na wala pang 2T additives ang pajero ko.

    Pwede bang 400mL agad ikarga ko na 2T pag nagpafulltank ako uli ng Shell V power Nitro?

    5ml per 1 liter of fuel is what the common measurements if you back read so you can try po for 45 liters at 225 ml.

    nasa inyo po yan kung babawasan nyo or dagdagan pa.

    normally saken mas mababa sa 5ml/1liter yung sukat ko, nilalagay ko lang 160 to 180 ml lang in 45 liters saken

    10L = 50ml or 2oz 2t
    20L = 100ml or 3oz 2t
    30L = 150ml or 5oz 2t
    40L = 200ml or 7oz 2t
    50L = 250ml or 8oz 2t
    60L = 300ml or 10oz 2t
    70L = 350ml or 12oz 2t
    80L = 400ml or 14oz 2t
    90L = 450ml or 15oz 2t
    100L = 500ml or 17oz 2t

    *add 2t before filling the tank

    Does'nt need to be accurate, estimate it using your fuel gauge in your panel say * 1/4 tank remaining you will fill around 60 lit to full the tank (observe it) so you need 300ml of 2T.
