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.

from the goss is has to be mineral to mix

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

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?
