Hi Guys. I have just serviced my 120d full oil and filters changed. Also gave it an engine flush with Mannol. I e got a friend who has recommend forte diesel treatment for engine, and another forte treatment for cleaning the turbo and another DPF regenerator. I'm wondering if I should use all these treatments at the same time or does anyone have any experience of using these products they can share here.

Hello,

Save your money and buy some 2s oil from any supermarket - must have spec JASO FB or FC ON THE LABEL IF NOT DONT BUY.

and :
Take a look at this thread!

http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic878.htmlTake

specs :
The "JASO" specification of 2-T oil means "Japan Automobile Standards Organisation"
JASO MA = for 4-stroke motorbike engines
JASO F = for 2-stroke motorbike engines
JASO FA = standard 2-T oil
JASO FB = low smoke
JASO FC = lowest smoke

For JASO F: the higher the letter behind the "F" the better the performance of the 2-T oil

For Europe, the equivalent of JASO is ISO:
ISO-L-EGB equals JASO F
ISO-L-EGC equals JASO FB
ISO-L-EGD equals JASO FC


So probably for your car? FC is fine whilst FB is also acceptable! Avoid mineral oils as these will leave more sooty residue.
The ratio is 200:1 so if you add 45ltr you should add 225ml of 2s. FYI I use Valvoline Durablend Synthetic Blend JASO FC on a BMW 320s(no DPF) its about £6/ltr and a bottle lasts me weeks(I get 48mpg av). Wilkinson do a cheap one at under £6.00ltr and meets the JASO FC Spec as does Morrisons , Tesco and Asda. Whilst this additive will increase/improve your mpg don't forget because of the low ash content your vehicle should run cleaner. For example the EGR, Inlet Manifold and Fuel Injectors should run cleaner. Whilst this is a lengthy thread you should when you have time on your hands read the first 30 pages of Yamaha's thread.

Happy reading!

regards
