I have now done 1000 miles with this in the oil

 

500 miles ago I topped up to maximum

 

so after 500 miles its the same used no oil

 

now before using it I had a very small leak from the drive flange

 

drivers side ( O ring ) and by now would be half way between

 

high and low

 

so all good as far as I am concerned certainly not causing a problem

 

with the rings etc

I used something virtually the same as this

 

in AUS for many years no problems at all

 

so far so good

its staying in car never gone so good

 

and using no oil 550 miles still at top

 

the stuff in AUS was mpg extreme oil additive ( same stuff )

 

used it for years 100,000 kilometres in my road car

 

Hyundai accent no problems

 

I got hold of some here 3 years ago and used it in my mini

 

at 3000 miles its now done 18000 gearbox is great
