from what i understand , it reduces friction better than just oil

I have used it on a lot of my cars over the years, I wait until they clock the 60K mark, and then add it every 60K. Had several cars do 240K plus miles, and they have all been sold on, with no engine problems. Now I am happier with my T2's engine, and no longer thinking I may need to be changing it, I will be treating it at the next oil change.

Not sure how much it has changed over the years though, as they no longer make the claims they did when it first came out, about the cars they ran dry after treating it.

Have a read of this...

Ive used it a few times and always felt car ran better with it, power ,smoothness etc. If you add with engine running you can hear the engine noise change so must be doing something.

Hmmm, I have just read right through that link... Now I know why the fantastic claims of the original stuff is no longer given... thats a real shame.

Might have a look for Xcelplus though..

I have used Molyslip 2001E, available from Richard... who used to be on this site.

Engine starting is easier as the starter motor does less work.

You can really tell.
