Hi, from what iv read, it doesn't contain p.t.f.e which turns to sludge and blocks oil ways etc. They reckon its suitable to add to the cooling system to lubricate the water pump and the fuel to aid top of cylinder lubrication! £ 22 from halfords isn't cheap so going to do a bit more research.

To be honest, if you're already using a good quality fully synthetic oil that is the correct weight for your engine then i don't know why you'd need an additive.

Ive got castrol 10-40 in now after i flushed the old oil out and added mobile 2000 which left it sounding like a diesel. the castrol has made a huge difference and it now sounds smooth and quiet again. So you wouldn't recommend adding this stuff then?

If you've already got a fully synth oil then i don't see the need to be adding anything to it if i'm honest.
But if you do add it then would really pleased to hear your views/comments about the stuff dude.
As for adding it to the coolant system, it might be worth a try. Anything that helps the water pump operate has got to be a good thing. They're a b@stard to replace.

If you do regular oil changes with quality oil theirs no reason a modern engine should not last the life of the car, the problem I have with these products is theirs no real way to substantiate the makers claim unless you run two engines in a controlled environment and then strip them down to inspect and who's going to do that.
