2 Stroke Oil In Diesel

2 stroke

A two-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine that completes the thermodynamic cycle in two movements of the piston (compared to twice that number for a four-stroke engine).

diesel

A heavy petroleum fraction used as fuel in diesel engines
German engineer (born in France) who invented the diesel engine (1858-1913)
an internal-combustion engine that burns heavy oil
Diesel was a Dutch pop/rock group that became one of the few Dutch acts to chart in the U.S. when their song “Sausalito Summernight” entered the U.S. Top 40 in 1981.
An internal combustion engine in which heat produced by the compression of air in the cylinder is used to ignite the fuel

2 stroke oil in diesel – Red Line

Red Line 40603 2-Stroke Racing Motor Oil – 16 oz.

Red Line Two-stroke lubricants contain base oils which have the highest film strength and greatest affinity for hot metal. Because Red Line is a superior high temperature lubricant, it can be used at lower fuel to oil ratios, increasing power and providing excellent scuff protection and cleanliness. Where many two stroke oils are recommended to run at 32:1, many Red Line customers often mix their fuel at a leaner, 40:1. Red Line provides the lubricating qualities of castor oil, but provide exceptional cleanliness, with low carbon residue that dramatically reduces plug fouling and smoke. Red Line provides special protection for reformulated fuels. Dyno proven to make more power over longer periods of operating time.

Motor oil is made from crude oil and is used to lubricate, clean, and cool engines. Types of motor oil include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. Motor oil varies in weight and viscosity, as well as additives that some manufacturers add to the oil during the refining process. A numerical code system created by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades motor oils according to viscosity–the higher the number between 0 and 60, the more viscous (thicker) the oil is. Most consumer motor oils are graded by two numbers, with the first number indicating cold weather (Winter or “W”) performance.
2-Stroke Engine Oil
This oil is specifically designed for 2-stroke (or 2-cycle) engines. 2-stroke engines are typically “total-loss lubrication” engines, meaning that this oil will burn up in the combustion chamber when the engine is on and will need to be replaced regularly. Common uses of 2-stroke oil are some motorcycles, lawnmowers, snowmobiles, marine outboard motors, and other small-engine devices.
Conventional Motor Oil
This oil is a conventional motor oil, meaning it is refined from crude oil or petroleum products. Conventional motor oils may or may not have additives included after refining. Conventional motor oils are more versatile than synthetic or hybrid motor oils, because they are suitable for use with nearly all types of modern vehicle engines, from cars and trucks to motorcycles, ATVs, farm equipment, and more.
Racing Oil
Racing oils are designed for track cars and other types of high-compression vehicles intended for motorsports competition. They contain particular additives for increased engine horsepower and reduced friction on metal parts, and provide special protection for engines with high compression or higher horsepower. Racing oils usually include fewer detergents than regular conventional motor oils.
Please note that many, if not all, oils labelled as racing oils are not street legal, and it is not recommended to put racing oil in a conventional passenger vehicle. Make sure to double-check the product label as well as the specifications of your vehicle to ensure proper usage.

The second of three sister ships to be constructed for Misener Transportation Ltd., St. Catharines ON; this Great Lakes and ocean gearless bulk carrier was built as hull # 257 by Govan Shipbuilders Ltd., Govan, Scotland. The new vessel was christened as the Canada Marquis on April 15, 1983; clearing Scotland on July 11, 1983 on her maiden voyage to Canada. This bulker and her two sister ships were built to give Misener Transportation (as well as the Misener managed and crewed Pioneer Shipping Ltd.) the capability of operating year round. The goal was to operate these vessels on Great Lakes trades during the navigation season, the ocean trades during the winter months. The other two sister ships were the Selkirk Settler (also christened on April 15, 1983) sailing under the Misener banner and the Saskatchewan Pioneer sailing under the Pioneer Shipping banner. Of note; the Selkirk Settler now sails as the Spruceglen (2) for Canada Steamship Lines, Montreal, QC and the Saskatchewan Pioneer as the Voyageur Pioneer for Voyageur Marine Transport Ltd., Ridgeville, ON.
The Canada Marquis was built with private air conditioned rooms. The vessel is powered by a single Sulzer model 4RLB76 two stroke cycle, single acting 4 cylinder 10,880 b.h.p. (8,098 kW) diesel engine burning intermediate grade fuel oil; the power being fed to a single controllable pitch propeller in a Kort nozzle giving the vessel a rated service speed of 13.8 m.p.h. She is equipped with a 1,240 h.p. (923 kW) KaMeWa bow thruster. Seven hatches equipped with McGregor hydraulic hatch covers with automated cleating service 7 holds where the vessel is capable of carrying 33,824 tons (34,367 mt) at her maximum draft of 32’ 08” (9.962m) and 25,875 tons (26,291 mt) at the Seaway draft of 26’06” (8.08m). Cubic hold capacities include 39,500 net tons of coal (standard measurement for coal, equivalent to 35,268 tons or 35,834 mt)*, 35,195 (35,760 mt)* of wheat, 33,203 tons (33,736 mt) of corn or rye, 29,125 tons (29,593 mt) of barley and 26,776 tons (27,206 mt) of oats. Other capacities include 1,363 tons (1,383.5 mt) of intermediate fuel oil and 124 tons (126 mt) of diesel oil. The vessel’s hull was built to Lloyd’s 100 A1, Ice Class 3 classifications and strengthened for heavy cargoes (with holds 2, 4, & 6 or 1, 4, & 7 remaining empty).
During the Canada Marquis’ first winter (1983), the vessel was engaged in moving coal from Sydney, NS to Santos, Brazil; grain from Brazil and Argentina to Bremen, West Germany; and grain from Quebec City to Tilbury, England. November 1984 saw the Canada Marquis load grain for Leningrad, Russia; then continue to work the European grain trade between Hamburg, West Germany and Leningrad. December 1985 saw the vessel load grain at Toledo, OH for Seaforth, England followed by a Russian charter, returning to the Great Lakes with a load of Swedish steel.
On September 12, 1988; an unloading crane collapsed onto the Canada Marquis while unloading steel in Chicago, IL holing a tank top and damaging hatch combings. Repairs were completed at Thunder Bay, ON. The vessel was rammed from behind on March 17, 1990 by the saltie British Tay while the Canada Marquis was stopped in heavy ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. She was repaired at Lauzon, QC and was registered under the Isle of Man reflecting a change away from her original Canadian registration.
Later in 1990, the vessel was again reflagged out of Port Vila, Vanuatu; followed by the transfer in 1991 of the vessel’s ownership to Federal Navigation, Detroit, MI (division of Fednav Ltd., Montreal, QC). Ownership then passed to Ubem S.A., Antwerp, Belgium (managed by Fednav Ship Management Ltd., London, England; also a division of Fednav Ltd., Montreal, QC). For 1991, the vessel was renamed Federal Richelieu sailing under the flag of the Bahamas marking the beginning of a new phase in her career; that of an ocean trader. The bulker was renamed Federal Mackenzie in 1992 flying the flag of the Philippines. Ownership and registration of the vessel changed several times over the following years but the bulker retained her name and remained under charter to Fednav. The vessel was renamed Mackenzie in 2001, remaining under charter to Fednav International; owners at this time being M & N Shipping Corp., Tokyo, Japan and registered out of the Panama.
Throughout her tenure as an ocean trader, the Federal Mackenzie continued to be a regular visitor to the Great Lakes. On July 14, 1993; the bulker grounded in the St. Lawrence River on the south side of the Vercheres-Contrecoeur Channel just east of Montreal, QC. A loss of power thus a loss of steering was the cause but there was no damage to the vessel. On June 8, 1994; an electronic failure in the bridge control systems caused the Federal Mackenzie to strike the ship arrestor of the St. Lambert Lock in the St. Lawrence Seaway. There was no damage to the vessel but repairs to the lock delayed vessel transits for about 12 hours.
