Hi. I've been mixing 2-stroke oil with Diesel for several years for the 1.4 TDI and fully recommend it to any PD Diesel engine user (also to any Common Rail engine user). All benefits have been listed already here. In Germany especially Taxi drivers swear by adding 2-stroke oil to their diesels.
The best positive effects ("quiet" engine + lubricating/cooling/cleaning the injection system + lower fuel consumption) are achieved by mixing 1:150, meaning 200 ml into a 30 l tank.
Be sure to buy only semi-synthetic oil featuring the combined specification of
API TC + ISO L-EGC + JASO FC
since that type oil generates virtually zero % residues while burning. Please don't take L-EGB or L-EGD or others...
This post fills me with confidence! Thanks Schnelletrecker.
