Additive for old engines....

[ehoe]

I read once in the forum that there is some additive you can add to old engines to help reduce oil consumption but can't seem to find that post anymore. Anyone know of any good additive you can add to your engine oil to help with oil consumption for those slightly worn down engines?. Of course this is not a permanent solution I know, just a temp solution until the engine transplant takes place!!. If anyone knows, please state the name of the additive, where it can be bought and how much it cost approx. Tks a million.

Saw X1R advertisement in yesterday's Star paper, with a photo of Jeffery Ewe with a thumb up, Vice President of BMW Club Malaysia.... interesting advertisement..

I think Kevster was in a TV ad for X1R some time back too.

crymson, you sure you get them at RM 20 for X1R. Outside is selling about 45 to 60 man.

My bad. It's RM20+ for fuel additive and RM45+ for the engine oil additive

I used this russian product in my e34 - meant to restore compression to old engines. http://eng.smazka.ru/index/. poured two tubes and so far and seems to work. costs about rm40 per tube. it is not an oil additive. i'm no tribologist so read it and make your own conclusion.

Never Never & Never.
If is good, Mobil 1 , Caltex, Valvoline, and another big name lubricant company would have make it.
