Yes your correct, I did mess that one up.

and Yes you are correct, the process does reduce the lubricity of the final product, like I said.

My mistake, but the point is still valid.

How? There are thousands of these cars still running well with modern fuel, the majority of them using regular diesel straight from the pump.

Comparing it to oil is not a good comparison. Oil has made leaps and bounds in development while Diesel is largely the same, only cleaner burning.

The guy asked if adding 2 stroke oil to the fuel in his old benz would help.
The operative word is "help"
The majority of evidence is that it will help.
Yes the car will run on the stuff at the pump.
But additives can help.

There is just no arguement room here.
You just want to take the opposite opionion of me.
No matter what I say.

Said the guy who came in 6 posts AFTER mine and didn't comment on two other additive threads!

You are just being a complete @ss now.

, rant off, I have run it for a couple days already through the system. Better, quieter starts already. The previous owner knew nothing about diesels and I am betting that along with the 20 w 50 oil i found in the crankcase there will be quite a few other surprises along the way.

20W-50 is bad? That's what I use in mine...

although I am meaning to swap out for 15W-40 or something soon.

OK , rant switch set to off position.

Just curious, how did you know it was 20 / 50 ?
Did he leave the jug in the trunk ?
Was it gasser oil, not meant for a diesel ?
