and, unlike some others, I am sure you know why you don't need to add 2SO to diesel if you are running a 2 stroke diesel!

Always used Castrol R with the pre-mix motors in the 80's but moved to Motul 2 stroke with the RD350, RD350 and RZ500. Never tried it in a 4 stroke motor as I don't listen to Witch doctor's.
You owned those bikes & survived? :D
Spent some time in ICU years ago but it wasn't the bike that I was ridings fault. Even at just over a walking pace the car that hits you always wins. I'm now the proud owner of a high milage body.

I have an old RR Classic and the steel feed pipe
portion from the filler cap rusts on the inside 😮
... so I now add a little of the golden nectar
as a protecter (but is also an octane
increasing fuel itself?) and also a little meths
to reduce the water in the fuels sold to us ... 😬

Chas, you are adding 2SO to Petrol.
But rather add diesel if you want to achieve what you are attempting to achieve...

There is some hidden wisdom in 2SO discussions:

Or rather peculiar similarities.

99% of the time, a guy that uses 2SO in a modern diesel engine also tosses while taking a bath.

I have just read a thread on another forum where a wet tosser (see reference above) claims 2so reduced carbon build-up on his exhaust manifold.

Then, when other knowledgeable members take him to town on this brave stupidity, foul play is called.

How else does one reply to a muppet other than to buy him another ice cream and take a video?



The part that concerns me, is the amount of evedentuary weight placed on his "facts". From a scientific point of view, hell from a professional point of view, one can only come to one conclusion: He uses statistics as a drunk uses a lamp post - for support rather than illumination.

Not needed, but thank you anyways.

I was merely stating the obvious.

We all thought it anyways.

:lol: Excellent best description I have seen on the 2SO user mentality yet. :lol:

It also describes the pissyness they show when called out on their nonsense postings, aka wankers.

Well done sir!

Which is one of the biggest problems on a certain unrelated forum, pissyness is taking over.

I thought 2SO was for Two Shots Olmeca?

Nice engine that.

If you want to see the difference in lubricant properties between 2 strike oil and something like chain saw lube, put the 2 stroke in the chain saw lube tank.
Use the chain saw, and then go buy a new chain and blade :roll: , I have actually seen this.

And no it was not me :D
