Has anyone used this or similar fuel system cleaner products on their sdv6? Are they worthwhile? How often should they be used?

Thanks. I was just wondering if it was a good idea to add cleaner to the fuel every once in a while as a precaution rather than waiting until there is an issue I have noticed a drop off in fuel economy last few months thought maybe carbon build up could be partly to blame. -----------------------------------------------

Now I suppose there's an argument to either put the products in or treat it to the expensive diesel |

Not honestly heard of adding 2stroke oil to diesel before, but having a diesel run about I thought I would look into it and a quick google search turned up this fairly conclusive study:

Adding 2 stroke oil has a big following with some on Disco3. Total snake oil, ahem. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Looking at that study it does look to have some marginal benefits, but it causes the injectors to foul up |

Yes. Sorry - couldn't resist the infantile meme - seemed appropriate considering the 2SO debate has been done to death; (91 page thread FFS!)
