No they're not the same. Castrol 2T is JASO-FB rated which means it's intended for use in your Victa 2 Stroke lawn mower and we all know how filthy black and oily their tiny little 'tight exhaust holes' end up becoming. ... Castrol Activ 2T on the other hand is JASO FC rated which means it is extremely low ash forming ie, it's very clean burning and designed for use in modern high speed high power high performance motorcycle engines. ... Activ 2T is definitely the correct one that you want to use as a fuel lube additive in your diesel. .... Interestingly, both have exactly the same lubricating qualities, it's just the much improved cleaning properties and much lower combustion deposits that make the Activ 2T the one to choose.
The suggested diesel fuel mix ratio is 200 : 1 so for a 60 Litre tank fill of diesel you would use 300ml of Activ 2T. Obviously the idea is to add the 2T into your fuel tank first before pumping in the diesel so that the turbulence caused during the filling of the tank ensures a good mixing of the two. Admittedly, it's a bit of a long shot, but if you add the 2T last ie, after you've already filled the tank with diesel then there is a small risk that it could sink to the bottom of the tank and pool there and be picked up into your fuel lines at a much higher concentration, when you start your ute so hence, it's simply a better idea to play it safe and just add the 2T first, before the diesel fill. ...

To me, that bit in bold doesn't seem right as the 2T mixes with fuel no matter when you put it in, its like saying when you fill your two stroke tank up for your boat if you put the oil in last it will not mix. If I remember I put it in before I fill up but quite often put it in last as I had forgotten to add it. It doesn't seem to make any difference and I have been running it for over a year now and reckon it surely does help quieten the engine and maybe even help with better mileage.

Is the castrol outboard 2stroke oil any good as it has a jaso-fc rating like you stated anoldfart????
as i have this all the time for my boat and would be easy to get all of the time...

Here is a link to the study. You can go to the conclusion at the end if you are in a hurry.
