2 stroke oil in crd with dpf

[sfedek]

Hello Guys, I need some help with this topic.

I hope some of you guys might be able to help out here.

Should I be using TC-W3 in my CRD Commander which has got a DPF???

There is some much confusing info in so many different forums that it has confused the crap out of me.

I use 300:1 ratio.

Should we use it if we have DPF's????

Have any other CRD Commander owners had any experience??

Thank you in advance

Historically there was evidence to support adding 2 stroke to diesel
This practice was proven to improve lubricity of the fuel
Engineers were able to show a marked reduction in pump & injector wear
With the advent of sulphur additives in diesel, lubricity improved beyond the 2 stroke additive
Australian fuel was traditionally rich in sulphur because big sky's small population
Euro 3 emission spec was introduced around turn of the century & drastically cut sulphur content
Each successive Euro spec has again lowered sulphur content
This has given rise to a resurgence in the 2 stroke additive theory

I have read two different studies on fuel lubricity, mainly because I was bored
but in both studies using Euro V compliant diesel,
2 stroke additives actually lowered fuel lubricity
big oil companies aren't stupid and there are other synthetic additives in diesel now

I don not understand the science underpinning all of these studies
Nor can I claim to grasp the chemical make up of these latest additives
But I can advise you that you are simply wasting your time and money adding 2 stroke if you are using Euro V or better compliant diesel

I too have read this in another forum & hence why I am confused & asking if anyone else here has had any experience with this.

I am here in Oz & using Aussie Diesel. Not to sure about it being great quality or is it???

Australian diesel has to meet very high standards, it is at the top end of world diesel standards.
