Hi Guys.
If any one here prefer to use an engine oil additive, which one you guys choose from the followings?
1)Liqui Moly Mos2
2)Liqui moly Motor Protect.
3)Nulon E20 or E30 engine treatments.
4)Wynns Products.
5)STP products.
5)Valvoline products.
 
+1

All I know is from all the research I've done (from this site and other resources). The evidence seems fairly clear that many aftermarket additives may actually interfere and inhibit the "ad pak" from working correctly in your motor oil, thus shortening it's life and abilities to properly protect your engine.

35+ years of using nothing but high TBN HDEO's of proper viscosity (per mfg's spec's) with nothing added, has left me with plenty of 150,000-250,000 vehicles that still had good running engines (even though everything else was shot). Others may disagree, but my odometer is all the proof I need........
 
Most applications you don't need these, but if I had to pick one it would be the Lubro-Moly MOS2. I have it in my '06 GTO.

There's nothing bad whatsoever with a boost of Moly.
 
I'll bite. MMO in the gas, and I'll add it to the oil if need. I've been doing this since the early to mid 1970's. Lubro Moly, and Bio Tech Engine Protectant. In the transmission LG Red. I've helped more people over the years resolve engine issues with MMO than I can count. A recent favorite Kreen, its a great product for cleaning up an engine in 1000 miles or so. JMO Flame away.
 
You have not said what the problem is that you are trying to deal with. I am +1 on the no oil additive. If you want to clean sludge then Auto-Rx or Kreen. MMO may help with cleaning, but will reduce the lubricating properties of the oil.

Show me some data showing MMO reducing lubricating properties of the oil? UOA reports with MMO show it to be quite the opposite. Only TBN takes a slight hit, and no one cleaning an engine wants to do an extended drain with a cleaning product in the oil.

DITTO... BUT also Redline SI-1 or BG44K in the gas depending on the issue to solve.

Tried all of them , Kreen was clearly the best. Can drive around with it, comes out real nasty, and the subsequent oil change is dirty too which means its still cleaning sfter its gone

Current price for Liqui Moly (not Lubro Moly) MOS2 at NAPA is $6.75 with AAA discount.

What is the difference? Always wondered that.

Liqui Moly and Lubro Moly are one in the same. Liqui Moly is using Lubro Moly as a brand name for certain markets.

My earlier purchases of MOS2 at NAPA were of the Lubro Moly Brand. Now NAPA is selling the Liqui Moly brand. Their part number (LM2009) for MOS2 remains the same.
 
I like MMO or 2 stroke oil in the gas tank [mostly for fuel pump wear because of alcohol in the gas - any top end lubing or cleaning is an extra benefit].

I use Lubro [Liqui] Moly in the oil.
If all oils were so initially perfect, they would all be the same and cost $25/qt. But they are not, are they?

And once or twice a year, a Techron cleaning product in the tank.
 
A can of Liqui Moly Mos2 A$16 here in Australia. Worth don't know but feel much better with one of them in the motor.
 
Lubro(Liqui) Moly MOS2 was $4.xx at NAPA in USA less than 6-7 months ago, they raised the price to $7.xx and many here upset about it.
