Just good fuel and the occasional blast
Sounds about the best way to me

ah, the 'where to get fuel,supermarket or branded' discussion is a popular topic as well  ... - .- -.

bottle of redex once a year only gets shell fuel except when Asda is cheaper , other superstores are available
So basically just use what you think works

I use a diesel additive almost every tank.

My current fav is Chemtech diesel power, but also use/like (on recommendation) Redline RL2 and ProMa DT5 Plus.

It maybe all placebo effect. ______________________________

Henda, every second or third tank 1/2 l of 2T. it dos the wonders. have been using it for well over 100k km.

Nino,

Cheers neno used 2t on my disco 3 new to rr so will use some and see how it goes cheers

I’ve read opinions that some additives are 2T based. So some Castrol Active may give me the same placebo effect for less money. 😄

Here’s an interesting article by a diesel repairer.
https://www.baileysdiesel.com/on-highway/t...l-engines/

It says 2T is good for Denso Injectors. Anyone know what type of injector is fitted to a 3.6 tdv8? ______________________________

Henda, make sure to report,

rar110, (https://www.baileysdiesel.com/on-highway/truth-adding-two-stroke-oil-diesel-modern-common-rail-engines/) that is
exactly how it was when I added it for the first time.

Nino,

Nino does your not have a DPF?

That articles says : Do not use in cars equipped with DPF

I did see the comment about DPF fitted vehicles. Lucky Oz delivered 3.6s didn’t have a DPF. ______________________________

Greg, I do, but I drive my like it is Eskort GTI (remember those). 99% of the time I drive the car, it will reach full working temperature and once a week I do 1-2 hour stedy motorway trip. I believe your problem with DPF is directly related to the way you use the car. I never once had DPF warning (knock on wood) and in 3 years I did 120K km and have used 2T all the time- every second -third tank full,

I'am not saying to you -use it or not, this is my experience , but it is empirical.

Nino,

,

Great - hey it works what you are doing.

Me - I have a few contributing issues to my DPF filling up;
1. Weekly driving/journey is very short,
2. I have not had the turbo drain done which is pumping oil into the DPF
3. The P040D-00(2F) error

. Cheers, Greg
