    @ trevbob I've had in in for two tank loads so far and very impressed.
    much quieter at idle and one out last weekend my fuel figures were
    12/100 from my DiD with 200k on the clock, and 285x16 tyres

    In a modern diesel engine, the fuel is part of the engine lubrication process. Diesel fuel naturally contains compounds that provide lubricity, but because of regulations in many countries (such as the US and the EU), sulphur must be removed from the fuel before it can be sold. The hydrotreatment of diesel fuel to remove sulphur also removes the compounds that provide lubricity. Reformulated diesel fuel that does not have biodiesel added has a lower lubricity and requires lubricity improving additives to prevent excessive engine wear.
    This was a problem earlyier on (around late 90's early 2000's) when BP introduced their sulfur free diesel as it caused a fair few pumps to fail due to seal damage from the lack of lubrication of the fuel

    Filled up the 2nd tank full today with the 2t oil about to do a 900km trip tomorrow so hopefully i will see some better fuel economy. (first big run while using it)

    Well Just finished a 955km round trip and i'm happy to say i will be using castrol 2t activ regularly.
    Not only is it quieter but seems to be more responsive and @ Stropp, the best fuel economy
    I have had before using this is around 13.5-14lph usually averages 14-15lph

    This trip we did 955km using 119 litres =12.46 and 150km of this was city driving.

    So i'm definitely saying this has helped our fuel economy as well as better lubrication so i'm sticking
    With it unless i hear anything to say otherwise.

    will have to give it a try some time when hitting camping, and seeing if it makes a difference at all, seems like from what ive read to improve engine lubrication if at all
