2 stroke oil

Postby steviebee » Sat Nov 18, 2023 6:38 pm

l had a Mk6 TTDi for 12 years and regularly used 2 stroke oil at 300ml a tank full. lt seemed to me to run quieter. Recently bought a 2012 Mk7 Euro 5 125ps FWD Trend and was wondering if l can use the 2 stroke oil in the fuel on this or is it a definite NO! thanks for any answers.

You can use it.

Im not sure how much benefit it will give on a TDCi engine though
