I have been going in circles having bought a product said to contain these (starts with a Z ends in a 1). I still haven't been able to find out what CPs actually do and what proportion would be in such a product. I contacted them to ask what percentage is CP and if used then drained within a couple of weeks would the CP leave with the oil.
The car is a Citroen Xantia HDI diesel which I have just bought
I know the general opinion of additives is don't use them, but I would like the option to do so. I am hoping people here will be able to give more info on CP and what it does rather than just saying don't use it CP will wreck your engine.
Since they were unable to say, secret formula, how much is CP I said I will just assume 90% with the rest as secret formula.
On that basis if CPs are so bad then I would use it before an oil change (225ml to be put in 4.5L of oil), run for about 2 weeks, then change the oil as normal. My thoughts were that this would deposit the product as specified then remove the potentially damaging CP ?
Why I ask is that if CPs are part of the process I am not sure I like the idea, but if just the carrier of the secret ingredients then not so bad. My worry is that if CPs are so bad why not just use someting else as the carrier, I can only assume CPs are necessary so may be part of the process and remain on surfaces.
I am manily worried that if this is so bad would any be left on the bearings etc. in any significant amounts. I would guess if a very small mount of CP turned to acid then the acid protectors in the oil could deal with that ?
Any advice appreciated.
