It doesn't have to be ash free, just low in ash. The fuel produces ash too, so the tiny amount from the 2SO being added is insignificant but best to keep it as low as possible.

I think the marine...

That should be fine. It looks like semi synthetic which is alright.

If it was fully synthetic it would be expensive and well advertised.

TCW-3 is the marine version of 2SO.

Don't use fully synthetic. The best all rounder is JASO - FC mineral in the lowest ash content you can get.
I think that's a European grading but whatever...

Was it 5th or 6th gear?
You might pass that on to Toyota and Subaru to try instead of changing gearboxes.

TC-W3 contains about 10-15 times the sulphur that's in fuel according to what I just looked up. So that means at 1:500 the sulphur content is being increased by 2-3% which is far less than the...

If you read through some of the links you would see the plugs are cleaner and TC-W3 is ash free, unlike most fuel, so can't clog the cats. In fact the better combustion is more likely to extend their...

I add mine at the pump just before the fuel and carry a 1L container that's graduated at 100ml. I would assume you have quart bottles graduated at 2oz?

No, I was agreeing with you about the post you mentioned. How people are still so sceptical as if it's a myth.

60ml for the first fill in the 50L[50,000ml] tank is 1:833
You could go to 1:500 which would have been 100ml and that might be enough to finally shut them up. 8ml per [US]gallon is close enough.

I agree.
It's important to me that I don't post anything that's incorrect and I need to change or remove my feedback to suit the current circumstances.

How do we do that?
