DIESEL FUEL + 2T OIL = Superb performance?

[big_fletch]

I recently bought a litre of Castrol 2T Self Mix (for lawnmowers, lawn edgers and stationary engines). Haven't put it in yet. Is this the right stuff or should I have bought Castrol Active 2T like Fletch used?

I used the Active 2T because it apparently mixes the best with diesel, not sure about the one you bought though.. I imagine it would be ok as long as its a mineral oil.. Cant be 100% though

From what I understand Plassy, as long as its not the synthetic one you should be right.

So whats the plan now Fletch, are you going to regularly do this each time now or?

I wouldn't mind giving this a shot myself too...

There's actually no mention on the label about whether it's mineral or synthetic. So I'm guessing it's mineral as it would say if it's synthetic? I'll double check on the Castrol website.

would a good idea before you use it

Probs not every time I fill up, maybe every second or third fill.. But I have been very impressed with it so far

Yer I would check just to be sure mate, I think you should be ok but better to be safe than sorry

Here's some data sheets on Castrol 2T:

2T Self Mix: http://www.tds.castrol.com.au/pdf/96...25_2008_03.pdf

Activ 2T: http://www.tds.castrol.com.au/pdf/97...02_2007_11.pdf


Definately states Activ is mineral based but no mention of this for the Self Mix. Think I'll play it safe and get myself a bottle of Activ.

Sounds like a good idea mate, just to make sure its def mineral

The internet doesnt really confirm It's mineral either mate...The keywords Castrol 2T self mix and the word "Mineral" arn't showing up anywhere.

Unless someone can 100% confirm I wouldn't try it either...

Can't take it back and swap it for the active?
