vs
Oil additives LIQUI MOLY or Lucas
Reviews
Anyone ever run this liquid moly oil additive did last night and can already feel the engine running smoother and quieter
Pros: engine running smoother
Cons: none
What made the biggest difference was an oil additive. I usually regard those things as "snake oil," but this is a Liqui Moly product, so I decided to give it a go. It's called ViscoPlus for Oil. At one point, I only burned one quart in 1000 miles, a significant improvement over 1 in every 500 miles. The last go-round with Viscoplus it was somewhere around 750-800 miles before I had to add a quart. I highly recommend the Viscoplus.
Pros: significant improvement
Cons: effect varies
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: LM20206
I had a cheap Volvo S40 commuter with bad valve stem seals back in 2011. I was about to tear into the engine, when a trusted friend/parts manager/guru recommended I try a can of Liqui Moly Motor Oil Saver as a last ditch effort. Within a couple drives the symptoms were gone, and last I heard the car is still running strong today.
Pros: symptoms were gone, car still running strong
Vehicle:
Volvo S40
I'm using Castrol Edge (or whatever) full synthetic 5w40 + about 250mL of Lucas engine oil additive (that stuff has done amazing things for other high-mileage engines I've had in the past).
Pros: amazing results, high mileage
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
yeah, dumped some lucas in and it went away after about 10 minutes
Pros: noise went away
Without Lucas in my engine I'll go through 1 quart of oil every 1800-2000 miles. With Lucas in my engine I'll go through just about 1 quart every 5000 miles Through my personal experience, it helps stop oil consumption in every single car I've used it in.
Pros: helps stop oil consumption
I decided to flush the engine any way first before I started the job and pulled the engine out. I put two bottles of car lube engine flush in the oil because of the amount of oil it holds (8.5l) and left the car ticking over for 45 min's wile I cleaned it. I took the car up on the ramp and drained engine oil and filter. Wow the oil come out black like a diesel. I decided to put new oil and filter in and run the car. I added Lucas additive run it up. I erased the fault code and took the car for a run. Omg the difference the car was like a rocket and no fault codes. Its been 7 days now and its like a different car.
Pros: car was like a rocket, no fault codes
Cons: oil come out black
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 89000 km
