lanscamb, have a look on the bottle, ideally you want mineral oil, but semi synthetic appears to be OK, the JASO rating is the thing to check, again ideally FC rated, but FB is OK from my experiences, I have put 6L of mineral FB through and no problems Altox GSM FBH controller thread

Have ran a tankful through mine now with around 250ml of 2 stroke in. Car certainly seems to be pulling better and fuel economy up to 32mpg from 30. Could be the Placebo effect but certainly no side effects so far. Will report back in a month or ao after about 3000 more miles.

You want a C or D rating for DPF, and a B, C or D for non-DPFMy D3 Build Thread

I thought that this could add some spice to the two stroke debate from the SA point of view.
Here's a link, they referr to 2SO, but just another name for two stroke oil.
As this is only one of 13 posts on this forum, there was a lot of debating done.D3 bullbar-spots-roof rack with spots-ladder-long range tank-swing out spare wheel carrier- upgraded tow bar-dash console-internal water tank-duel awnings-drawer system & T T.
