Geastb 0 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Would it work if your engine was burning oil badly? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43120&item=7933682077&rd=1 Link to post Share on other sites

tandino 1 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Personally i wouldnt touch it with a barge pole - it will just be really thick oil aditive which in turn makes you nice thin viscosity oil thick and therefore less likely to burn.....You can get the same sort of stuff in Halfords for less than a tenner Link to post Share on other sites
chrisgbrindley 0 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 I always chuck in a can of STP when I change my oil so the oil sticks to the pistons, its really good and only about £5, they do one for smokey engines too but I dont know what thats like.

Nerih 0 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 they make fuel and oil additives and are see in petrol stations and all well equiped automotive outlouts(no i dont sell these for a living heh) Link to post Share on other sites
tandino 1 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 I never put oil additives into my engine...Whats the point of contaminating good synthetic or semi synthetic oil with some 5 quid additive ?! .If they were that good dont you think the major oil manufacturers would already be onto it ?! ?! - after all they spend billions of pounds on research to produce these oils .Do a search for 'Slick 50' - there are some very worrying reports on that rubbish....http://www.ftc.gov/opa/1997/07/slick.htm[ Edited Fri Nov 19 2004, 06:21PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 ive only ever used stp once, and that was in my MK2 golf to clear the carbn deposits in the engines and stop overruns becuase of high cylinder temperatures (from carbon build ups)..in the end i blew the head gasket, and i had the entire head redone and bottom end decoked....£400 for that, so i did ok.
