Two Stroke Oil (2SO or T2) Discussion Thread

[Paul#25]

Here is an article in the latest "Unsealed 4X4" online magazine to stir the pot about this debate.

To be fair, it never was a debate.

A debate presupposes:
1) two intellectuals
2) engaging in an
3) informed
4) formal
5) argument
6) about a topic.

Prophets of using 2SO as an diesel additive usually only complies with the 5th requirement.

I really like the line in that article that says:

You’re probably better off adding some sort of high-strength cleaner instead – there’s evidence around to suggest that stuff does work

[BushWacker]

... what about :
Lead
Sulphur
Molybdenum
Zinc
etc
etc
and all the other evictees ?

... must I just trust the replacement
modern-day millenial potions for everything ?

... but all these mod cars dont/wont last as long ...

I still use 2so in my diesel and I believe it helps.

We are also working on a additive for the diesel, in the Uniglide range af products that are coming.

Someone once commented that he has noticed that Diet Coke makes you fat.

I asked on what he bases this observation.

He said hed never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.

This is the same research base used for 2SO.

The term is 'Anecdotal'...

Same thing with Uniglide. Same thing with UDF filters.

Then those same guys will phone me for prices on injectors.

This thread reminds me of the Easter bunny and Santa Claus... commercial gain for those with a vested interest in the consumer spending their money on useless crap

[henris]

Personally I don't think it is iseless crap. Not if a set of D4D injectors cost R24k. Plus whatever the recovery fee is and what the susequent damage to the motor is.

Then there are idiots that believe the the manufacturers are out to save you money.

So you also promote and sell useless crap? I don't think so.

... perhaps the most interesting and useful insight from the article on Sasols 2SO research is that most such corporate lubricity research is not made available in the public domain...

... strange that ... me wonder why ... ???

... there are so many aspects and so much dis/misinformation etc do we know the answer ?
... I certainly dont.

... only know that Sasols ‘research’ should be automatically regarded as suspect and biassed
... bit like VWs emissions research !

... furthermore consider the three main parties involved :
the vehicle manufacturers
the fuel companies
the car runners and buyers

... the first two dont want to find or tell bad news about modern fuels and lubrication
... and the third dont want to hear it .

There are three "..."s where the first word of each sentence should be Chas...

....going on?
