Hi ALL

Have been doing a little research and came across this product http://www.costeffective.com.au/show....php?ItemId=27

A number of the guys at work have put it through Mitsubishi and Nissan engines, both turbo and non turbo. Has anyone had experience with these products. My Prado has 130K on the clock and of course, after an oil change, give it 500KM and the oil is black again.

Be interested in anyones thoughts...

Cheers..peter

A mate used it on his friends 4by a month or so ago... (at the owners request) too early to say but he's going to let me know how it goes after the next service.
Apparently it gives you 18k between oil changes

Not if you want your warranty to be honoured

I have used it in my 2.8 hilux with 230,000km on the clock. I didnt notice any extra oil/sludge come out and noticed no difference after the flushing.

I used it on my 280000km kzte. didnt notice any sludge but for the first time since owning the car it took the full book amount of oil to fill up so something must have come out.
