Anyone use this stuff? used it last time and to be honest thought it burnt less oil this time but when first changed it got a rattle at 3500 revs but seems to have gone now,changing the oil again in a couple of weeks and not sure whether to use a flush or not 75k miles 1.6 sport, I change oil every 5000 miles

vauxhall recommend using forte treatments
forte slaesman also says they have insurance agaist any damage that has been caused by thier product
I use them in every service I do and have yet to come across a problem
in fact the fuel treatment fed in neat through the inlet is a spot on cure for sticking valves on 16v ecotecs
the oil in a diesel looks like fresh oil after motor flush
thus no silly complaints from the customer when they get home and check the oil level to find it as black as when the took it in
now some flush bought from a market stall maybe a diffrent matter
stick with forte imo if you are going to use it

i think its scotts that we use at work. poor it in' leave it running for 10-15mins then drain it out. never used it in mine yet but it works wonders on cars at work. especially the older cars that we have traded in that are abit rattly. give it a good flush and its quiet again

i use the worth stuff in mine. and i do a good oil change every 3k and ive never had a problem, all you got to make sure is the cars warm and off cold start before you put t in or else you will garantee to fuck something.
throw it in leave it for 10 minuits and drain untill it stops dripping out... lots of people will not wait till it stops dripping and by not waiting your keeping a serten amount of engine flush in the engine when you put new oil in it... foobared engine if you dont do it right.

wether you drain it for 10 mins or 10 hours the bearings and seals within the engine wil still be coated with chemicals that are designed to break down engine oil and reduce its viscocity.
The Forte stuff is good, it does not reduce the oils viscocity but does break down carbon particles that build up in old oil, however using a good cheap thin engine oil as a flush is just as good.

I use it, but only forte stuff. Not cheap mind, we pay about a fiver a bottle.
The petrol treatment is also one of the only ones ever that actually works on emissions. We have tested and proved this a few times.

100% agree superdooperlite. Forte stuff is about the best. we tested a car on the dyno before and after a full car service using all of forte products, defineite improvements.
