Hello! Anyone know this product? Pouring it into the oil; Reduces engine friction, compression is gained, and gas emissions are lower.

And like all engine additives is very bad for your gearbox. Don’t add anything to your oil other than more oil as needed.

Hello! Why is it bad for the gearbox? Bearings and syncs are robust parts.

Not really as a mini has the gearbox in the sump and uses 20/50 oil so doesn't need any snake oil added. Plus I've had customers blow engines and gaskets using additional additives, mainly engine flush fluid though

You want to make your synchros less effective then go ahead and add the *******.

 

reducing friction in an engine is good. But no good in a gearbox. People have been adding ******* to minis for years. And been changing gearboxes as well.

Wise words.

Ok, thanks for your answers. We could say then that the additive may be good for the engine, but in the case of the classic Mini that shares the same oil with the gearbox, it is not advisable to add anything. I put Valvoline 20w-50 on the last oil change. I think it is an acceptable oil

VR1 is quality oil.

I have exactly put this. And I like it as much or more than the Millers classic.

I don't know what you think.

[cal844]

That is one of the best oils you'll get

A friend works for a major oil company and they spend millions developing oils, and hence you don't want too screw with it. As said already, the Mini engine shares its oil with the gearbox, so leave well alone.

 

You are better off using the money the change the oil and filter more often with a quality oil.
