quote: I'm not too fussed if it fucks my engine, its coming out later this year for a major overhaul, not sure if to have it done with QED yet. I've just got sick and tired of starting my car up, and people staring because it sounds like a tractor lol Its certainly put and end to my tappets making a row. End of the day its personal choice, i'll keep you posted if my engine blows! :lol: | |

get hold of some prolong engine treatment and stick that in... it actually is the best friction reducer ever, it says on the bottle "no equal in the world" and it actually is... since slick 50 took em 2 court coz they said they were better than slick 50 and they actually proved they were the best lol | |

I'm not a fan of oil additives either, how is it good to put metal particles in to your oil?? | |

LOL, TBH im not a fan of additives. My lifters have got real noisey over the past few weeks until engine is warm. Im having the engine re-conned in the next few weeks so im going to get them to take a look at the lifters then, they thought it could be due to low oil pressure as they said something about the oil strainer (I think) can get blocked with manky oil and until its warm (thinner oil) then its loud. | |

Looks good. When it said get 1 can per 1litre I thought it meant per 1 litre of oil so nearly bought 5! :lol: Then I realised it meant engine size, so I only need 2! | |

I really dont know, i'm not going to agree that adding additives to your oil does any good but it has helped my engine. My xe has been in my corsa around 4years, so since the year 2000 or so, its been thrashed at times. | |

my exhaust smokes quite a lot and my tappets are knackered, how good you reckon it would be on a 1.4 16v? | |
