Worked in a motor factors, and supplied it to a variety traders and garages, it does have it uses especially if you have poor oil consumption we used in the managing directors BMW and then his audi and oil consumption reduced, but we also noticed the engine would go quiet more than usual for a day or so after pouring it in. think of a hot glue melted in a glue gun and about 2x thicker is what it looks like! chucked some in my father old 1.3 endura fe fiesta engine because the tappets needed resetting and rattled a lot, sounded normal for three days then it crept back, but had them reset and oil flushed and all good after.JustinR1979 wrote: »You sound like someone who sells dodgy motors!
