yeap, you'll be surprised after trying it....

after adding the Lubegard with the Q8 Semi Syn 10w40, it resolved my tappet problems, there're many people who used it and has praised the additive.

Izso, why can't you add any additives in a good lubricant?

Well, this is my personal opinion. I have nothing against lubeguard and Q8. I'm just trying to understand why we need it.

Engine oils like Q8 are specially formulated with specific cleaners and lubricant materials to work best at the indicated engine oil weight and temperature. Adding additives basically alters that structure and basically defeats the purpose of the oil's cleaning and lube abilities.. so why bother with good oil in the first place? Use the cheapass one and add lubeguard la like that.

It doesn't defeat the purpose....there're a few types of engine oil additives available commercially, as according to wikipedia.org

-Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) additives, which typically also contain calcium, are available to consumers for additional protection under extreme-pressure conditions or in heavy duty performance situations. ZDDP and calcium additives are also added to protect motor oil from oxidative breakdown and to prevent the formation of sludge and varnish deposits.

-In the 1980s and 1990s, additives with suspended PTFE particles were available to consumers to increase motor oil's ability to coat and protect metal surfaces. There is controversy as to the actual effectiveness of these products as they can solidify and clog the oil filters.

-Some molybdenum-containing additives to lubricating oils are claimed to reduce friction, bond to metal, or have anti-wear properties.

-Various other extreme-pressure additives and antiwear additives

Yes guys, you all can get Q8 from Eneos as it is one of our dealers.

NeoG,
I'm not too sure about the Q8's prices as they differ from time to time. As for your civic 11 years old, I'd suggest you to try out our Q8 Semi Synthetic Advance 10w40, it is retailling only at about MYR89 if I'm not mistaken. However, it depends on what have you used b4.

Thteh86 - I like Q8 oils. I've personally tried it and am quite pleased with it.

And I know about the different types of engine additives. Irregardless of what type they are, the engine oil itself is supposed to do all the additive is doing. Why add in additional when the oil itself is doing it already? I mean, Mobil spent millions of dollars on developing it's highest end range of oils the Mobil 1 series, if RM20 additives could do better, then why bother with good oils like Q8?
