Adding 2T Oil To 4 Stroke Engine

Cheap octane booster.

Yeah, but there's no point boosting octane if your engine isn't designed for it / can't take advantage of it, and I remember a Mythbuster's episode where they proved that it didn't increase mileage either...

How come?

'Kavvz',

Yes I add acetone not every day when ever I go to Puttlam or to Hambanthota long distance running I get 10 to 15 % more on a liter.

At the moment I am trying the 2T oil for the first time not done sufficient mileage to give a result.Tank full recommended dose was added.

Will inform A/L about any positive or negative result.

Another version: Hey guys, I've got a 98 1.8T. I've had a k04 and chip for a while and wanted to get more performance. I was recommended to port and polish the intake and exhaust. We found out they used abrasive material to do it like gritty sand. So I got with my friend that tunes Hondas and we decided to try it ourselves. We got a bag of sandblasting sand and hooked up into the intake and started the car. We had to hold the gas so it would run. He wanted to let the engine suck in the sand through the intake so it would port it out and then push it out the ehxaust so it would port the exhaust manifold. I was worried that it might cause problems but he figured it'd be OK as long as we didn't make boost and it get sucked in the turbo. After running the car and letting it suck in sand we got about half way through a 25 lb bag. The check engine light was on and the engine was bucking and kicking and sounding really weird. We stopped and hooked the car back up normal and took off the sand supply. We tried to start it again and it was really hard. Once started it couldn't idle and kept making weird noises. We took it out and drove it and it started to make scraping and knocking noises. Help! Can anyone tell me what to do! My buddy only does Hondas so he doesn't know much about Audis. source

Mr.'Kavvz',

Some one had given you wrong advice you can start a engine and give a feed of oil but not any solids like sandblasting sand small particles of sand will damage your pistons engine bore valves.

I have seen racing car inlet ports are polished using wire brushes on to hand electric drills and later use abrasive paper number of grades to polish those ports once they do that they are like elector plated shining.

Are you positive the acetone gives you better mileage? Are you running the acetone and fuel mixture in a EFI engine or a carburetor engine, and how much acetone are you adding?

Kavvz,

Yes acetone gives more mileage on long trips.EFI engine

Now I will give the result of 2 T Oil mixed and the test run of my vehicle.

I returned to Colombo at 6.15pm going on Puthlem road. My vehicle is a Maruti Omni. I wanted to have a trial run with 2 T oil since I filled up the tank I did town and country running I managed to get for 251Killometers 13.5 for a liter of petrol when I filled the tank.

I had never got more than 12 kilometers early. Without 2T in the tank. I normally do travel on Saturday or Sunday

On the same run. My average speed was 50 to 60 kilometers for an hour. May have gone little more than 70KMs also on clear roads.Today there was not much of traffic and no speed guns were operating.

Not only that the engine is running little less temperature according to my observations.

did you stop for kassippu on the way? seriously, what utter crap. I'd hate to be the idiot who buys any vehicle from sylvi.

Omni with a Two-Stroke engine ? What year was it manufactured ?

Your confusion is quite understandable.

Our blue collar worker with 50-years of experience is experimenting (or claims to be doing so) with 2T oil on a 4Stroke engine. He currently claims that its successful.

The current conclusion is that the engine is running at a lower temperature (Temp indicator is around 39% on the gauge) with 2T compared to without (Temp indicator is around 45% without) and also giving good great fuel economy.

To my limited knowledge, every engine has an operating temperature designed by the manufacturer. The ECU and most of the control systems are calibrated to work optimally in this temperature or else there may be adverse effects in the long run.

Oh well... I don't have 50-years of experience after all, so who am I to comment?

Engine's run at certain temperatures for emissions requirements. Run them lower and some of the pollutants don't get burned; but a cooler running engine is a better running engine. Either way, it's the thermostats job to keep it at optimum temp so only installing a lower degree thermostat is going to make the engine run cooler (considering everything else is working).

And guys, seriously, someone's trying to genuinely help and your disregard for any idea new or out of the norm is sad. Also Cyclist, either you didn't even read the previous discussion about adding 2T oil in a 4-stroke car or your reading and comprehension skills need some serioues improvement.

not trying to start anything, just stating the obvious

well, only thing i forgot was to add a to the end of my comment! , I'm Sorry guys!

Members,

Mine is a 4 stroke engine as this topic came up on this forum no one wanted to try out.

Yes I stopped to buy crabs and prawns. Member who is not capable of dismantled engine to reassemble. Who write DIY as he is a authority on automobiles did not answer to that post. This member wants to have pot arrack at others account. He may be a fan of Pot arrack.

I did this merely if there is a truth on running a 4 stroke engine with 2 t Oil what are the differences I can notice. I have topped up the tank again and added 2TOil for next trial will be doing only in Colombo. I do try with Acetone also. not always only on long runs.

One member write about the temperature controller of the engine I did not change the original or any modifications to same. What I noticed on the meter I wrote.

Mr.Crosswind,

I totally agree to your post about manufacturers specifications about ECU settings by the manufacture and the engines run accordingly.

But no one in our country do a experiment with own money they want to follow what others have done and it is proved and correct.

I dunno, there's a lot of debate online whether it actually does increase mileage. Do any of the other members do this or know of anyone else that does?

How much crabs and prawns did you buy? I think that also affects the fuel efficiency of the Omni. So can you please give more details on the seafood you bought and the lady at the fish stall. Did you share your droplets of joy with her... If so how much, because that affects how much the van (and the owner) is in heat.
