I have a 2.0 LTR DI freelander on a V plate, will this run ok on a diesel / oil mix, :icon_redface: The oil i can have very cheap is omega & primrose oil, will this be ok to use :blink: if so what percentage do you recommend.

Thanks.

I would twin tank if i was you. LR tend to suffer from piston gumming more than other motors. Its your motor, you might be ok while the temp is warm doing a 50/50 blend but as soon as it gets colder i would reduce if not stop completely. I suggest you do a service every 3000 miles or you really are asking for trouble.
I have a peugeot 406, this motor is well known for running on 100% veg with no probs, but i still continue to run it on bio as it's a lousy drive on the veg and it save's the injector and in the long run it will save me time with not having to change them.
