Oil treatment
Hi I have a 2.1 dj WBX engine and was wondering if it was ok to put slick 50 into the engine when I change the oil, or if there is any other product recommended by you guys

I have some magnets you can put on your fuel lines which help no end too! Those oil additives and any oil that claims to be magnetic etc etc all wear off within a short distance and are not worth it, just service it normally

Strange how engine runs smoother and fuel consumption some times improved using zx1 and good quality oil every 25k . Must be the magnets in it

Re: Oil treatment
A wbx engine would be long dead if you changed the oil after 25k miles

Does seem to reduce engine temp and make engine run smoother. Cant vouch for the bus because I put it in when I got it, but the megane I ran from new to 99k and the bikes there was a noticeable difference if only minor it was a difference. Doesn't proclaim to be magic just a friction reducing agent for metal surfaces.

Oil is changed as per service \ my schedule, you just add the zx1 every 25k

If you want some specifics between the rockers/tappets, main/crank bearings it gets to over 30,0000 psi, which destroys the polymers in your special oil!!!! Hence it not lasting long at all! Ever heard of the placebo effect?

Do you not like it when people who have more knowledge about this sort of thing, piont out incorections in these "magic" oil ??
Exactly what is this more knowledge? Different perception maybe? You have proven nothing other than you know the pressure inside an engine.
