Effect from oil additive

[Tom]

Not trying to argue if additives are beneficial in the short run or long run or at all here, I'm sure most are scammy than those that work.

But for tappets and old engines, Id recommend Tufoil even if for experimental sake. Could try it say when you're halfway through your engine oil life.

I've used them in my E30 325i for years back in the 2000s

Don't take my word for it though, you should do some research on the product before trying it out.

Speaking about noises, the manual box in my E30 used to chatter for years. I was told one or Redline's transmission additive or was it the entire fluid itself will cure this and it did impressively.

So there is light at the end of the tunnel for old car problems and aftermarket fluids and additives

Additive is a tough market. Simply because product claimed so much of benefit but end user did not enjoy it. As 6uest mentioned, only way to have the product verified are by existing user that went through several different scenario of usage or passionate folks who did comprehensive test on the behavior of it.

There are just too much, way too much of additive available on the market and as i know of we have no centralized feedback on all of these additive. Car owners regularly sticks to either one or two of the additive that was proven beneficial to their machine thus everyone might have encounter product differently.

Well, personally I have actually used a manual gear additive to my Hyundai Sonata III. It has this synchomesh problem where changing from 1st to 2nd gear gets this rough grinding sound if engine speed is higher, but surprising after adding it in and ran for about 1k km the shifting is smoother and the grinding sound also very much less

redline gearbox oil is very good oil...on my old scooby...i'm using redline shockproof lightweight....its like code10 hair oil in colour

hmmm sounds like a good time to start testing, time for an oil change anyway, i suspect gearbox oil has also not been changed in a while.....

urgh.... my 20 year old tappets bising!

but ohh well, no real harm i guess...

What car? Perhaps it's time to adjust tappets?

As some have mentioned if the product is so good, oil manufacturer would have added it into their own blend......

wrong, nowadays oil is quite crappy, you really think oil manufacturers would add some precious elements into oil? hell no, the truth is that we live at times when oil is getting worse and worse but we can't stop buying it. that's why car's engine can break down so easily, when the car is new

Engine break down got many ways. Racing them, no maintenance, etc., MY VR is 16years, Sonata 20 years and Chery is 6 years also no problem and using all kinds of engine oil....

Yup, car engines break down can be by many reasons, not necessarily engine oil. By right engine oil actually should already be much better or must comply to higher standards than before because engine requirements are also higher: more hi-tech, more power, more fuel efficient, lighter package, tighter tolerances, higher compression, more and faster turbo boost, etc2. you name it!

Like bro VR2, I also have used many cars for many2 years, countless times rev kaw kaw until rev limiter and just using cheap oils bought during promotion in Tesco/AEON WITHOUT any single additives, and yet NONE of my engines break down! All the metals are still very clean, engines running as good as new without any issues whatsoever.

You cannot just say engine oil nowadays is quite crappy without solid evidence/research, or just by hear say or hunches of more engine breakdowns, sorry that's just talking nonsense.

If scare then must buy oil with API certification.....

Wow.. your claims can get you sued left right and center if a company chooses to do it. As what the others have pointed out, engines break down for various reasons. To solely blame engine oil for breaks is so single-minded and shallow.

Some oil companies spend millions every year on R&D and you're saying they spend millions to make their oils worse? Granted - some brands downgrade their base oils from group IV to III at worst but that doesn't warrant it being called the culprit behind engine failures.

no additive = no supplement for body.

Once additive = addicted :D

Once I talked to a guy who was working at car service station, he said that around 15% of new land rover cars broke down at first 10000km, tho he said it could be coz of manufacturing defect

This is an example of simple hearsay and spreading. That statement simply could not have justified generally available motor oil on the market. More to mention, it isn't even most of the manufacture is meeting this issue. Guy did not even confirmed that was root cause, if he did must have knew which brand and why.

A suggestion here to not keep up with current thinking, or you would get yourself into trouble.

 

[vr2turbo]

Manufacturing defect is car manufacturer fault.....
