Brendan 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2012 Sounds like fancy marketing once again. Dunno - maybe I read up on the tech literature off the website which is extensive and gets into chemical design etc etc and looked some other stuff they had. If it didnt work consumer gurantees act would apply and money back I would have thought. ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Hmmm. Well for me I've always stood by in having a good clean non-abused engine, running the correct oils/filters changed regularly avoiding short trips and warming the engine up through a gentle drive. Good oils already have the additives one would need to keep their engine running well, derived from the chemical engineers testing & research. I believe adding in a foreign store bought additive mix would just alter their hard work, changing the performance of the oil - possibly doing more harm than good for the engine.

Etwenty1 45 Report post Posted July 24, 2012 Back in my "mullet and rx7" days I added some pro-ma additive to 12a rotary- the engine note and exhaust smell changed immediately and a few weeks later the centre shaft seals failed.........coincidence?

Your mate did something else for that to happen and the engine builder is fibbing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nath 134 Report post Posted July 27, 2012 People put an additive in an engine that they well know is on its last legs or which requires extra attention, and then blame it for the engine meltdown. If the oil's viscosity is anywhere near still intact, it wasn't the oil that killed the engine! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
