Hi
I am new here and this is my v. first post.
I have land cruiser J81. It has 1HD 4.2L Turbo Diesel Engine I6 version. Its my first ever diesel vehicle.
Fuel tank capacity is 80~90L. (I usually top up when gauge needle touch below point and usually it takes 65~70L to top up).
Some people say its OK to mix 1L of Engine oil with ~70L Diesel. Its good for injector nozzles & keep fuel pump lubricated as well. It may produce a very minor smoke, but engine pick up will be superb. (Frankly, I have tried once and yes it works).
But some people say its not good to mix Engine oil with Diesel. If lubrication is the concern then only 2T oil should be added with 70:1 ratio.
And some people say its absolutely not necessary to mix anything with Diesel if you are having good quality fuels.
Just wondering what are your experiences about it ?
